Yes: This won't slow or otherwise interfere with healing.

You may be sore after the colposcopy if they took any biopsies and you may have spotting, but it should be fine.

Depends: You can stimulate your clitoris but I would recommend waiting 3-5 days before having any toys inserted in the vagina to prevent it from touching the cervix that would be healing after the biopsy
