You can if you have brought the bobbin thread to the top. You hold both threads toward the back and lower the pressure foot, doesn't matter where on the quilt you are.

To stop the bobbin thread being sewn over during the quilting. You might end up with not enough to pull through after you have untangled it.

Absolutely you can pull the threads to the back of the presser foot.

Pulling the bobbin thread up to the top ensures that you don't get tangled nests on the back; In addition by holding the threads with your fingers whether you are FMQ or piecing ensures that the tension at the beginning of a section or seam is even. Also it makes tying threads and burying them in batting is easier. I do tie off all my threads in the middle of the quilt. If the seam starts at the edge I don't tie because other stitching will cover it.
