Yes. I use normal shutdown of the mysql server. `mysqladmin shutdown` is
one way. On Ubuntu `service mysql stop` is another.

The Galera node will say goodbye to the cluster and write its position to
a file so it can resume from there when restarted.

Many. Apart from all the usual reasons to not kill a mysqld process,
expect SST after restarting it.
