Yes, absolutely. When writing for references, most company's are interested in when you worked there, what you did, how often you were sick and if you were sacked or resigned.
Your personnel records held by your former company will hold all of that. You could then use your previous boss as a personal reference.

Yes, you can still use the place. They would most likely only verify dates of employment anyway, even if your old boss was there. Companies rarely give out actual references any more for fear of being sued. If you knew your old boss well you could use him/her as a personal reference also.

Yes of course you can. But they do not have to give you a reference unless, you are working with children or practising in law etc. As some employers got in trouble a few years back for making refrences, they keep them short and sweet nowadays.

If you know a coworker or another supervisor that can vouch for your work that would probably work. Don't list any references until you have talked to them first and asked them if they are willing to vouch for you. To just throw a name or company in there is risky.
