Yes.

It is orthogonal to degree correction; it can be applied with and
without degree correction. The same model selection principles still apply.

Yes. There is even an example of this in the documentation.

MeasuredBlockState is based on a latent Poisson multigraph, but it also
includes a model of the noisy measurement. LatentMultigraphBlockState
assumes there is no measurement error. If you want to do link
prediction, you should use the former, not the latter.

Best,
