Dual boot guide is here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-booting/96000-guide-dual-booting-mountain-lion-windows-8-a.html

#1. You can do that, but after you're done installing Chimera/Chameleon bootloader, you will not be able to boot Windows, except via BIOS (Chimera/Chameleon cannot boot a UEFI install of Windows)

#2. For UEFI Windows install, you must use Clover for multi-boot.

The guide above is for installing Windows as legacy to a GPT/MBR hybrid. You do all partitioning in OS X Disk Utility.
