Yes.

No.

The starting point is RGB, so there is nothing to encode. YCbCr and HSV
are transformations from RGB (or R'G'B' to be precise).

The basic chain is:

XYZ -> colorspace conversion -> RGB -> transfer function -> R'G'B'

and after this there is an optional step that converts R'G'B' to
Y'CbCr or HSV (ycbcr_enc or hsv_enc). The final step is the quantization
step where you end up with the actual color component values.

There doesn't seem to be something like limited range HSV, so I'd say it's
full range only.
