Yes.  The board gets it's power from the BBB.

Yes.  The external I/O can be pulled up to 3.3V or 5.0V.

This is how Mesa does it.  If you are using an IEEE 1284 parallel port
cable or a DB-25 break-out-board that grounds all the IEEE 2384 ground
pins, you need to connect those pins to ground on the DE0-Nano_DB25.

If, however, you have a solid 5V supply and are using Mesa DB25
expansion boards, they can be powered via 5V supplied via the parallel
port cable.
