Yes. Figure 9-6 is an example.

I don't know. <syllable, virama ZWJ> is rendered differently from <syllable,
virama, ZWNJ>
But I don't know which of both is the default.

If it is not at the end of a string then the default is to try to include
yet some more in the ligature, ZWJ or ZWNJ prevents this.
