Absolutely.

No.
This is an action granted by a card in play (Francois himself), so it
cannot be repeated on the same turn.

No.
The rush action is granted by a card in play, so it cannot be repeated
on the same turn.

3.19 What is the "NRA" or "No Repeat Actions" rule?
The NRA or "No Repeat Actions rule" was a rule instituted by the
Vampire: Elder Kindred Network for tournament play with constructed
decks (ie non-draft non-sealed tournaments). It has since become a
part of the base rules for the game.
The new base rules incorporate a variation of the No Repeat Actions
special floor rule from the V:EKN tournament rules. Instead of
restricting repeats by (a sometimes difficult to define) type, a
minion cannot
bleed twice in a turn
take a political action twice in a turn
use the same action card twice in a turn
take the action allowed by a card in play twice in a turn
by the new rules, with no restrictions on, for example, hunting or
equipping (assuming the minion can untap, of course). The last item
(card in play) includes any special ability the minion may have.
As equipment cards (and retainers, and allies) all count as action
cards, you may take multiple equip minion actions with the same minion
on any given turn, but they cannot be the same piece of equipment.
You can: Equip with a Sport Bike, Untap, Equip with a .44 Magnum.
You cannot: Equip with a .44 Magnum, Untap, Equip with a second .44
Magnum.
An action is only considered to have been taken if it resolves by
either being blocked or by being successful.
A minion that initiates an action but that action is taken over by
another with Mask of a Thousand Faces is not considered to have taken
that action and is not prohibited from taking that action later in the
turn.
An action that is cancelled by Direct Intervention on the card used to
begin the action is not considered to have been taken, but the card is
considered to have been played. A minion may immediately take the same
action or same type of action even though the Direct Intervention was
played with the NRA rule.
Example 1: A vampire who bleeds his controller's prey via Computer
Hacking, then untaps via Freak Drive, cannot perform any bleeding
action again, of any kind whatsoever, in that same turn.
Example 2: A vampire who takes a Govern the Unaligned action at
superior to move 3 blood to an uncontrolled vampire, then untaps via
Freak Drive, may not use another Govern the Unaligned card to bleed
that turn. That vampire may bleed with any other card or without a
card, just not with Govern the Unaligned.
