No (as shown by supreme Court decision)
Yes
Yes

Parliament is the sovereign body in the UK. That has been accepted since at least beginning of the 18th century when Queen Anne was the last monarch to refuse Royal assent of a Bill passed by Parliament. This was recently tested in the adjudication that Parliament must have "a meaningful vote" regarding the final Brexit situation.

This shows the pm is not a singlar executive that can act without or against the wishes of Parliament. The proroguation was an attempt to avoid parliamentary scrutiny - as judges by the supreme Court.

If the proroguation was illegally advised then it was right MPs returned to work.
