Yes. Introduce the nem before lights out and they should have an instinct knowing the nem can sting.

You should be fine. You generally want to wait until your tank is mature (around a year or older), and you’ll need to ensure you keep your parameters in check. Anemones are as sensitive, if not moreso than most corals, you need excellent, stable water chemistry.

I usually recommend 9months to a year, every tank matures at a different pace. If all of your parameters are stable, it’s probably fine. I would test your water a couple times a week for a few weeks (unless you’ve already been doing that), and if it’s consistently stable, I think you’re probably fine.

I got mine at 4 months by accident because I thought it was older than that but mine still seems to be doing fine!
