Yes; your Apple Account (what Apple now calls an Apple ID) can be used for all sorts of things, including for purchases and downloads from the app stores.

Yes, normally your main account is the one used for purchases too.
It is possible to enter a second account under Settings > Media & Purchases but I believe the default there is the same as your main account information.
