Answer 1

is return statement the last statement inside main or is it possible to write statements after return?

The run time behavior of executing a return statement is independent of the function. Be it main or some other other function, when a return statement is executed, nothing after that is executed in the function.

It is possible to write statements after the return statement. They are superfluous since they are not executed. A smart compiler might be able to even omit creation of object code corresponding to the statements after the return statement.
