Yes: Go gently. Test the range of motion. Any doubt of tears or brakes see a doc. Otherwise, it sounds like you know what you're doing. Enjoy yourself.

Yes and no!: Joint should be stabilize, at least with a wrap, or better, a sprained ankle appliance, to stabilize your anle. I would also recommend nsaids while off your foot.
