Hey ProgramMax.
You are right that it states in multiple places that you need to supply your own Raspberry Pi CM3 Lite or CM3+ Lite, but it doesn't explicitly state that it will NOT work with other Raspberry Pi.
I will add something to that effect to hopefully make it even more clear for future customers.
For your question 2: Internally, the Compute Module uses the same lines for eMMC as it would for the SD card.
It's POSSIBLE (but not recommended) to modify the 0402 resistors on a CM3 to bypass the built-in eMMC. This involves moving multiple tiny (0402 is 0.04” x 0.02”) resistors from one position to another and bridging 5 other pads. Once done, it's effectively a Lite.
As far as installing to eMMC and booting from that, I will test it ASAP.
