It would be absolutely fine. An HDD's an HDD so far as the RPi is
concerned.

Depends on:
- what RPi you have ie, whether it supports USB 3.0 (RPi 4) or not
(other RPis)
- the spec of the external drive you're currently using (ie, is it USB
3.0?).
-
If your RPi only supports USB 2.0, then there won't really be any
benefit, as that will be the limiting factor, regardless of the HDD or
enclosure specs.
If your RPi supports USB 3.0 (ie, it's an RPi 4) and you get an
enclosure with UASP SATA 3-to-USB 3.0 , then it will achieve faster data
rates than an external HDD that's just USB 3.0.

Not quite sure what you mean. You just put the HDD in the enclosure and
there'll be a USB cable that comes out of it which goes into your RPi
Duet x 3, via various hi-fi. LMS running on Raspberry Pi OS (Debian 10)
+ OMV on a Pi4 (4GB RAM) in an Argon Neo case.
