  1. Yes you can. Make sure your page opens with something like:

    <?php /** Template Name: Text & Image 
*/ get_header(); ?>

    In this case the name of the file in your file overview (while in your appearance editor): Text & Image Page Template

  2. I don’t think so. The reason being that single-{type} pages are not essentially a required part of WordPress Template files, where as page.php is as it is used to for all static WordPress pages.

    So it makes sense that WordPress people set a neat title for page.php and left single-{type} pages unattended. Also, type of single-{type} pages are user defined and subject to variation; where as page.php templates are not.

  3. Yes, you need to provide a proper formatted URL (permalink) to wordpress Like either you want a dash (-) OR Forward Slash (/) OR whatever you want.

    For this Go to Admin Panel > Appearance > Permalinks , here you can see the different styles of permalinks.You can create your own permalink structure too.
