You could, but you'll likely oxidate your beer. If you do keg it, make sure to drink it down quickly.
Sure!
Needless to say watch your sanitation. It can still get infected. Starsan those bottles on the outside and the lips after popping the caps.
But be careful not to introduce any air into your beer when pouring it out. So pour slowly, no glugging, and keep it low to the surface. Slow and steady pours.
Oxygen ruins beer, it oxidizes it, robbing it from most flavors and aroma turning it into wet cardboard.
Purge that headspace well or better yet, fill the keg through the liquid out tube after you've done a 100% Starsan purge. Do a (Google) search.
