You have to remember grass is a weed lad. Just a well trimmed one. Bunging membrane under it will stop the weeds and your new lawn growing. Cut the new grass twice a week and live with the inevitable odd weed mate.

You can, but there isn't much point. If you're laying the membrane to keep the weeds down (the main reason to have a membrane), mowing will do the job just as well - grass thrives with mowing (because it grows from the base), whereas most other plants grow from the tips and are killed off by repeated mowing.
In short: forget the membrane!

I cant understand why you would want to put a membrane under grass in the first place. Grass is a weed so its not to stop the weeds from growing, an if it is to stop weeds from growing they will after you have cut it a couple of times.

no
the grass needs to root and will not do so through membrane

probably best not to. grass needs to drain or you will end up with a muddy puddle instead of a lawn. when the weather is dry, the soil will break up easier and be harder to repair.
