Of course they can. They also root very easily. I worked growing mums. When we would prune them, we'd drop the cuttings to the ground. These would eventually end up rooting in the ground, which was really cool!
Mums are not picky plants (they can handle being moved around), so transplant away, but do water them in after you transplant them!

Yes -- easily. If you are transplanting now, you might want to trim off much of the foliage. You could even try routing some cuttings in a glass of water, if you want more plants. Mums need to be pinched back frequently to get more blooms anyway.

YES. AND YOU CAN PULL THE ORIGINAL PLANT APART TO DIVIDE IT AND MAKE MORE PLANTS IF THERE IS ENOUGH PLANT. MAKE SURE TO WATER THEM WELL. MUMS ARE VERY TOUGH AND GROW QUITE EASILY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO CUT THEM TO THE GROUND EITHER UNLESS THEY HAVE DEAD GROWTH ON THEM. THEY WILL BE FINE. LATER YOU CAN TRIM THEM TO GET READY FOR WINTER. THEY TAKE A PRETTY HARD FREEZE, TOO, SO DON'T DO IT UNTIL AFTER THEY DIE BACK. YOU WILL HAVE BLOOMS LONG AFTER EVERYONE'S STUFF IS GONE.

Yes, just be sure to get the whole root ball and don't disturb it any more than you need to. Then keep it watered really good and it will come through it ok.
