can a cpu handle higher clock speeds in dual channel?

Not really. It matters what they report. But they won't report the data the same way, so you have to know how the application you are using reports the information.

Not necessarily. I don't know about your specific platform, but often times the CPU's max supported memory speed is more of a guideline than a hard limit. Faster RAM is not guaranteed to work, but often times it does.

Wrong. Dual channel has nearly twice as much bandwidth as single channel, and can have improved latency too. This may or may not translate into improved performance in the applications that you use, and if it does, the performance improvement may be large or small.

Nope.

That's probably for the best.
