Yes. In Thunderdome, a combatant must kill his opponent to win hence "Two men enter. One man leaves". Max breaks this when he refuses to kill Blaster and fulfill his part of the deal with Aunty Entity. The "no rules" means that there's no specific restrictions on how one is able to defeat their opponent.

Max, a warrior arrives in Bartertown, a desert town where people come to trade and do business. Max has come to Bartertown as he is tracking down an eccentric pilot whom hijacked his vehicle and stole all his possessions.

Yes! Out at the Burning Man Festival, there is a camp called Deathguild that builds its own Road Warrior style cars and holds nightly battles in its own Thunderdome!

They were the descendants of Captain Walker and the surviving crew and passengers of the passenger jet that Walker piloted. The story they tell about the apocalypse and Walker's crash landing in the desert is one that's been handed down through their time living in the canyon. When Savannah (who herself is pregnant) finds Max, she assumes that he's Captain Walker and that he's returned to lead them out of the desert to civilization. Years prior to Max' arrival, Walker and maybe a few of his crew and some of the passengers probably trekked into the desert to find a way back to civilization. The fact that they never returned may mean that they died out there.

No, Bruce Spence plays a different character. Although both are pilots, the Gyro Captain from Mad Max 2 was said to become the leader of the survivor group from that film. Then the narrator of MM2 mentions that when he grew up, he eventually took over the group. So it stands to reason that the Gyro Captain would not be found in Barter Town if he was still leading a group at that time. Also, Max and Jedediah (the character from this film) see each other on more than one occasion and never have a moment where they recognize each other.
