Yes they can, but the spell must be able to affect the object or being in
the physical world (ie a mind control wont work on foci). Just remember
mana spells attack the target only, physical spells ususally hit the target
and ground out.

No an observer in the physical world only will not see the magical energy,
from the spells unless he goes dual)

Only if the target has something that can be grounded through(ie an active
foci) and the spell is a physical spell
