2/5 Yes, it is advisable to follow up if you have not gotten a feedback after this time. But also bear in mind that the schools may be very busy especially building up to the time for admissions.

4/5 It helps to contact a potential supervisor before applying. Also bear in mind that potential supervisors are flooded with proposals from potential candidates during admission periods. They also have other students they are busy supervising.
