No.  "Lock when already locked" is a bug in the application; it is making
an illegal call to c-client.

If you make more than one simultaneous open to a UNIX format mailbox, the
older open will be closed.  It will not cause a "Lock when already locked"
crash.

No.  The mbx, tenex, mtx, and mx formats also support shared open.  It is
only UNIX and MMDF formats which don't.
