Answer 1

No. If you run the full T, you have 4 in the backfield. If you put both receivers on the same side, one would be ineligible, and the tackle on the other side would be the last player and would be eligible to receive. But, if he did not report to the ref as an eligible receiver prior to the play, a penalty would be called.

Answer 2

A simple way to answer all your fomration questions is this:

1) you must have seven on the line of scrimage (if you want more you can but its wasteful).
2) only the outside player on the los is eligible as a receiver (in other words, most likely 5 linemen and a split end or tight end on either side)

There you go, go crazy with your formation wizardry

Answer 3

Uh...Yeah...as long as there aren't more than 11 on the offense...That is a slot left or slot right formation, depending which side the 2 receivers line up relative to the QB...but you would be down a lineman if you put 2 RBs in...

Answer 4

I wouldn't see why not it has 7 people on the line so you should be able to.

Answer 5
