Each changeset may have a branch marker.
Here's branches in use with an import of mutt's CVS history:
$ hg branches
mutt-0-94 208:b2cc0abd8fe0
HEAD 207:a505693b54c1
mutt-0-93 134:d59345944030
muttintl 1:29510de8b3fc
$ hg co HEAD
176 files updated, 0 files merged, 8 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg branch
HEAD
$ hg branch devel
$ hg branch
devel
$ hg branch devel

Yes. Both local and revision-controlled.

All three use the same underlying storage format, so yes.
