Yes. Varies. Yes.

Most of the time (ie, in every instance I have seen), two applications cannot share a serial port. Therefore, you cannot use both IFI Loader's terminal and your app.

It is notable that, depending on what implementation you are using, the line endings may not be standard. (I don't know how well Microsoft's stuff handles \r.)

I'll leave the 16-bit question to your own pondering; the solution depends on your use for it.
