If I understand correctly, ACPI requires that only CPU0 be running when
the system is suspended (i.e., your guess is right). Of course, this
doesn't apply to non-ACPI systems, but it's easiest to do the same
thing everywhere.

I don't see why not. Presumably no CPUs will be added or removed while
the system is asleep.

Yes.
