Answer 1

For me it works also for @Html.DropDownListFor:

Model:

public class MyViewModel
{
    public int[] SelectedValues { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable Values { get; set; }
}

Controller:

public ActionResult Index()
{
    var model = new MyViewModel();

    // the list of available values
    model.Values = new[]
    {
        new SelectListItem { Value = "2", Text = "2", Selected = true },
        new SelectListItem { Value = "3", Text = "3", Selected = true },
        new SelectListItem { Value = "6", Text = "6", Selected = true }
    };

    return View(model);
}

Razor:

@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.SelectedValues, Model.Values, new { multiple = "true" })

Submitted SelectedValues in controller looks like:
