Yes. And you should: that’s the best way of diluting the costs of the flights and getting a cheaper travel.

That’s possible and, most of the times, the better strategy. You should definitively ponder the hypothesis of a multi-destination travel in Brazil, which may involve some stays in Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo, but also other hot brazilian destinations as Manaus in the Amazon, Bahia, and so on.
