This is typical. You'll find quite a lot of examples.

Yes.

It should be right, although __raw_readb() and __raw_writeb() may
suffice for you. Please check the comments in <asm/io.h>.

It may also happen that you need to read/write  32 bits instead of 8,
but this depends on your specific hardware.
