Yes. You could also use it behind to draw the air through rather than blow it through if you were so inclined with your case airflow.

Yep, no reason it shouldn't work.

I think cooling performance would be SLIGHTLY degraded by a pull setup due to air velocity magicks, but unless you're pushing a 120W or greater CPU the evo shouldn't care.

As others have said, it will work just fine mounted on back of cooler pulling air through cooler. You might notice a little more noise as some fans make a little more noise pulling than pushing, but even then is very little difference.
