Answers:

  1. Yes, the amount can be negotiated prior to nikah.  Likewise, if both parties agree to pay it over a period of time, it would also be fine.  (For example: i hereby would give the bride $4800 mehr over a period of 2 years with a monthly payment of 200 per month.)
  2. Once nikah is done, they live together.  This would be best in in our current environment.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
