You have to make a fork aka copy and modify to contribute via pull requests. The license is fundamentally broken.
Yes, but that has nothing to do with Github TOS. It does not require you to accept or even allow pull requests.
I'm not sure if it's spelled out in the ToS, but there is no way to prevent pull requests on public repos, it's a functional requirement.
Just because you can do something, does not mean you are allowed to.
