Yes...No...Yes respectively.

An ISP I used for several years actually have a script on their end that 
will ping toward the subscriber and deliver the result. Try going to 
http://www.airnews.net/members/support.html and clicking the "Run a 
Reverse Traceroute" button.  If the site of interest is under your 
control, you can do something similar.  Otherwise, I guess you'll have 
to be satisfied THAT the echoes get back and let HOW remain a mystery.
