of course.
yes
Yes, …just remember that the bigger the container the better the plant will do, the more plant and fruit you will get. …Try an everbearing type, (like Caroline http://www.noursefarms.com/catalog/Product/Raspberries/RS-CABR/Caroline+.aspx)
Use at least a 5 gal. container. Never forget to water, esp. when the plants get larger and suck up the moisture faster. As soon as the old canes are done fruiting cut them out so the new ones have plenty of light and air to increase their vigour and then yeild.

Hi!
For your cultivation you can consider also an hydroponic kit. This technique is very efficient and fast. For example on Hydroponics web store you can find some of these kits, nutrients and much more.
Good luck! 😉
