Yes, I think so.

I don't think so but I am not sure.

No. I think the concept of process context is a higher-level logical
concept. Though the interrupt share stack with the interrupted
process, in my opinion it logically does not share the context with
the process.

But I do not see the exact relationship between your specific queries
and the original question. Could you elaborate?
