Yes. 'at' can replace 'by' next to 'your side' in most cases, but there is a slight difference. In normal English usage 'by' implies a greater intimacy.
eg "Madam, the Prime Minister will be at your side throughout the meeting."
The Duke of Edinburgh was by the Queen's side as she received the guests.

Yes it's correct. A few examples:
"Your dog is at your side"
"Rest your arm comfortably at your side"
"Who do you want at your side in a medical emergency?"
