yes, but it makes the most sense on the supply side to eliminate air before the water makes the run through your home's baseboards/rads where it will make noise
no you can't
You should use an air eliminator in all closed-systems, even those with diaphragm-style expansion tanks. There would be no downside, but keep in mind that you have several different options for air eliminators.
You need an air eliminator to remove the oxygen, which is entrained in water, from the circulating water in the system. All cast iron part (flanges, pumps, heat exchangers, etc.) will be destroyed in an O2 environment (rust). Also, the hotter the water temp.- the better the air eliminator works. So it should be mounted on the hot supply side of the boiler.
The air eliminator does not have to go directly on top of the expansion tank, but it is usually a good idea to install them close together at the "point of no pressure change."
The expansion tank is the "point of no pressure change". It should be connected to the system 12 pipe diameters minimum away from the inlet of the pump. The air eliminator should be on the hottest water(boiler supply side) to work most effectively.
You can connect the expansion tank to either one.
Yes, the bottom is still threaded. You can find more information in this Installation Manual: http://s3.pexsupply.com/manuals/1286886684637/40410_PROD_FILE.pdf
