Yes

No, in both cases you are voting for a particular candidate

When you number all the boxes in the order you want to,
you are spelling out which candidate you prefer if the one
you gave 1 to doesn't get enough votes to be elected

That's up to the candidates to put themselves up for election

The only say the partys have is who they agree to have as their candidate

If no party will have a particular candidate or the individual
decides no to be a candidate for any particular party, they
are free to stand as independants
