Yes

No

RTFM?

Documentation states, for both INET & INET6 families:
address address
        Address (dotted quad/netmask) required


netmask mask
        Netmask (dotted quad or number of bits) deprecated


Are we really debating how to configure network addresses without first
searching in the man pages?
I hope no-one is giving speeches in the whole lot :oP

The only things which are not documented in the "interfaces" man page is
how the default value for optional directives is computed. In doubt,
specify those, but they are technically not required. Welcome to
"default values" wonderland.

Happy documentation reading,
