I see no reason why not

yes but if its a low amp output one you may have some minor issues with usb devices and if your overclocking it

as long as the power bank can supply enough power, sure. dont try it with those cheapo 700mA output power banks tho.

i custom wired in a 2A power supply to not have issues with USB devices, it's a nightmare

I recommend 2a minimum if you are doing emulation and overclocking. if you are making a raspberry pi Gameboy like i did, have 2 modes one on the go when it is at stock clock speed or slightly overclocked and one on the docked mode when it uses full overclocked power of the pi. for emulation download retropi 

if you want full desktop use rasbian, ubuntu or kali linux. 

you can also use pi to stream steam games on the go, not recommended.

yes but needs to be 2A for the pi3. I have a 2000mAh power bank and it powered my raspberry pi on idle for over 24 hours but i did not run it flat to test how long it would actually run for. If you go to the raspberry pi forums theres a ton of posts where people have documented power bank models and performance/uptime with them

I also use a power bank with 2A output on a single port to power my Raspberry Pi 2B. It works very well at high load with several USB devices connected as well. Be sure to set the max_usb_currect flag to 1 in the config file on the boot partition. External hard drives are tricky, but night work for you, depending on the drive, if you're running off a power bank, and the drive has a secondary power (USB) plug, connect that to another port on the power bank if possible. Most multiport power banks have a max current per port that is lower than the total maximum output.

Well you can, but I would recommend that you use a high capacity one. I am currently working on a project that will use the raspi 3 with a power bank .
