Yes.

True, unless it also listens for HTTP requests on port 80.

It is not possible to have a intermediary cache between a client and a
SSL server if a SSL connection is required all the way between the
client and the origin server. To be able to cache you must terminate the
SSL connection at the cache.

Squid does not yet know how to initiate SSL connections, only how to
accept SSL connections from clients.
