If you mean with "alter database" statement, yes you just need to be in mounted state, open is not mandatory.

If you have a backup, yes, from the backup (if it is not corrupted).
If you have not or a corrupted backup, no.

I even don't know your requirement. It totally depends on you how you will recover.

from autobackup,
Recover controlfile from autobackup;

From tag,
Recover database archivelog tag <tagname>;

This is not a thread related question.
Why you will do that. Before doing that do
backup controlfile to trace.then
in nomount state,

CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE NEW
MAXLOGFILES 8
MAXLOGMEMBERS 2
MAXDATAFILES 32
MAXINSTANCES 1
LOGFILE

/////path

DATAFILE

/////path

;

Hi,

Backup Retention Policies

RMAN considers backups of datafiles and control files as obsolete, that is, no longer needed for recovery, according to criteria that you specify in the CONFIGURE command. You can then use the REPORT OBSOLETE command to view obsolete files and DELETE OBSOLETE to delete them.
RMAN>report obsolete; 
RMAN>delete obsolete;


If you have a flash recovery area configured, however, then the database automatically deletes unnecessary files from the flash recovery area based on its internal disk quota rules. The disk quota rules are distinct from the backup retention policy rules, but the database will never delete files in violation of the retention policy to satisfy the disk quota.

The term obsolete does not mean the same as expired.
RMAN>crosscheck backup;
RMAN> crosscheck archivelog all;


In short, obsolete means "not needed," whereas expired means "not found."
RMAN> delete expired backup;
RMAN> delete expired archivelog all;


The CROSSCHECK command does not delete operating system files or remove repository records. You must use the DELETE command for these operations

Check doc for log archive format.

Yes, you can change archive log location for that you have to set LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter.
