Yes.
In Minnesota you are just south of 49° north latitude. For a few months either side of June 21, the sun will be in the "north half" of the sky at sunrise and sunset, but never due north. On the morning of June 21, the sun will rise at about 075° (true compass direction) and set at about 285° - depending on your exact location and local topography of course.
Of course once you are north of 67° on June 21, the sun makes a complete circle in the sky - east, high in the southern sky at noon, west, and then low on the northern horizon at midnight.

Yes. During the Spring and Summer in Minnesota, the sun is in the northern half of the sky while it is still fairly low in the sky (i.e. in the morning and the early evening).
At noon, it's always in the southern half (all year round).

No, even at the height of summer in the Norther Hemisphere, the earth inclination is not enough to get the sun angle to be north at the latitude of Minnesota.

It will be in the lower part of the sky.
