While I can't comment on your specific example without further context,
setting up variables in the code-init element allows them to be used in
the styles and page templates from which you don't know where they'll be
coming from yet. IOW: you're setting up a context for the layout phase.

Yes thay can. Whether marking some element as inheritable is useful would
depend on what the element does.
