They will count towards your status, but not towards a challenge.

No, you have to wait 12 months after your last challenge to apply for a new one.

You can do a challenge from any status but the requirements are the same.

BTW, according to reports on this forum, the requirements of the Platinum challenge have been changed from 18 nights to 9 stays.
