Yes you can use it without any problem

Yes, although there are methods to start a new agent each time you
login. However
the best option is to keep the agent alive, because you may need to
restart oned so it gets the correct env. variables if you start a new
ssh-agent...

There is no such option for the underlying driver system. However as
this is mainly done in the ruby library and not in the core, you can
easily add additional arguments by modifying:

$ONE_LOCATION/lib/ruby/one_ssh.rb, check Line 82
