If you have holdings that are locked up, are you allowed to short stock or use options to hedge your position?

No. Typically lockup agreements prevent any kind of trading of derivative or synthetic positions (think: shorts, swaps, options, etc).

Almost certainly, outside of standard trade restriction windows. I don't think they have any control over what you do in the market outside of preventing insider trading.

Yes they absolutely can and do. Lockup provisions are contractual and typically quite strict.
