The recommended cfengine setup uses a "pull" architecture; what you
describe (the master connecting to the slaves) is a "push" architecture.
There is a pretty good summary of those two ideas at:

Not with cfengine's standard usage model. You could still use cfagent
as a general interpreter, if you found some other way to get the policy
files to the clients.

cfengine uses its own protocol to transfer files (though cfagent can
copy files from NFS shares, that would be considerably less robust).
