You can set a power policy via the iLO configuration. By setting the CPU power modes to lower settings, the fans may also spin down accordingly.
That's the official answer from OWS, now another answer if it is possible to force hp controller to up it to x2 width, that will require some more research. -)

Yes, they work.
It depends on what NVMe card you use, but you'll be capped to PCIe 2.0 speeds in terms of throughput.
