Answers:
Yes, yes and yes! Pushups are a great alternative to bench pressing!.
I recommend you do circuit pushups: 20 incline, 20 regular, and 20 decline pushups with only 30 seconds rest between each type!. This will get you going very well and work all parts of the chest instead of only one section, work your arms, and even work the shoulders/tri's!.
For the incline/decline, find something about 1!.5 feet off the ground to place your hands/feet on!.!.!.
