Answer 2
Yes.
Also, he can use Swift Strike as well while his Dragonblade is up.
On a side note, if you cast your Deflect as your Dragonblade's duration is ending, the sheathing animation at the end of the Dragonblade's duration will cancel a part of Deflect's duration, as such avoid activating Deflect when your Dragonblade is about to end.
