Generally, yes.  Husband needs to give permission and employer applies for permit (not visa).   Not sure whether her profession falls into the 6 categories which are screened for Hep B.   If that is the case then she will not get a permit.

Nope. Teacher will fall under the 6 categories.  Dont risk it.

Yes.  Only a dependent visa.  He will not be allowed to work in the 6 categories.
