Yes, but while you'll know it's an illusion, it still covers your vision. People hiding behind an illusory wall are still hidden.

I admit that it may work in most cases, but it demands an active response. Also, if it's the illusion of a captive that I'm trying to save and it's out of reach, shooting them is not recommended.

A Perk might allow Perception to be substituted for Will rolls to disbelieve, allowing low IQ creatures with good senses a reasonable chance to detect illusions.

Yes, it's possible, but I usually only go for house rules when my options were already exhausted or something that me and my players blatantly disagree in the rules.

I even considered the possibility of automatic contest check from the illusion in your field of view and the caster of the "See Illusion" spell among other things in case I need to create it. It makes sense that a Master Illusionist's glammer to fool a less experienced magician using a spell to counter his. For now is just a possibility though.
