Yes.

You can open them using SPTK (dmp command).
They are saved under gen/ directory.

They are in hts_engine format (binary int/float, big endian).
You can find the definition of these file format through hts-users mailing list archive.

Yes.
For given unseen models, hts_engine traverses decision trees (inf files) and finds the corresponding leaf nodes.
Using statistics of the found nodes, it generates mcep and f0 sequences and synthesizes a speech waveform.
