Of course, individual GMs can tweak the rules as they see fit.
Yes.

It's -4, and personally I like it because it makes a distinction and somewhat nerfs the still-very-powerful ability of fighters to cast spells. Fighters tend to have good DX anyway, and are often at range 1 to their foes, so being able to win a fight by casting Sleep or Freeze or Break Weapon or Hammertouch is a major coup for a fighter over other things they can do to improve their ability without spells.
