You are asking a lot of interesting questions.

Yes they can be used in this way. But tanks are used for this most of the time. Modern day calvary units are helicopter, tank or Motorized infantry units.

Calvarys main purpose is forward recon behind enemy lines. It's just how they get there and what kind of firepower they us thats different.

Helicopter calvary is more likely to flank the enemy lines, then to attack head on. Tanks are best for that. Helicopter calvary speed is more suited for hit and run or surprise attacks on ground forces. Also note that these are aircraft and can not hold ground or stay in the area long before they have to return to the airfield.

I hope this helps
