I don't see why not.

Perfectly legal. Technically you never have to use the manuver if a weapon
provides one as an option. It just doesn't make sense though to stay at
close range when you can hit for long and often your opponent's vampire
can't(though I can think of a few specific cases against this but overall
that's the reasoning).

Yep. I think the only card that can actually stop this is Faceless
Night, since that taps you even if the block is unsuccessful and will
therefore leave you tapped and unable to play Reaction cards. =)

Yep.

Faceless Night won't stop that. Faceless Night taps the would-be blocker
when his controller declares that she is not blocking (or when another
block is successful).
The would-be blocker can still play reaction cards until that time
(like Enhanced Senses or Telepathic Counter).

Hm, I think I phrased it improperly, because that's what I meant. =)

Yep, but the blocker can't fail to block and THEN play a bleed
reducer, correct? the blocker needs to play all the reaction cards
before admitting that the block is actually unsuccessful -- meaning
that all Faceless Night really does is ensure that you can't wait for
your predator to bump the bleed before deciding whether to Tel.
Counter it or Tel. Misdirection it, you have to pick right away. =)
