Like Jrtpup said, yes you can. In a pinch, you can also go to WallyWorld and buy the old NPH and Regular insulins without a script - they are about $20 each.

When my pump blew up last summer I used the Novlog with N. The non-negotiated OTC price for the N was $68/ bottle@ Walgreens.

It's ok but not easy as the port is rather small and tough. I suggest you call MiniMed immediately

Yes as long nothing has happened to the insulin it would be fine.

Dumb yes, but we have all done it. Yes, you can use a syringe to draw the insulin from the reservoir. I've done it before. You can also go to your local WalMart and go old and get R and N over-the-counter for about $25/bottle.
