Answer 1

Yes, you can just store {myJsonProperty: JSON.stringify(myObject)}. Hopefully you know that you can also just set {myJsonProperty: Object} in your mongoose schema and store the whole object without converting it to a string for no reason. It doesn't have to be a nested document with a schema, it can be just a plain javascript object.
