Ask the wife first.

Yes. You will need a double-pole (or if it is the sort of fan with a run-on timer, triple-pole) isolator which must be either within sight of the fan or lockable-off, for maintenance. You can get "fan isolator switch" in the DIY sheds or online.

No, but if you did it would have to be wired through a fused connection unit with a 3A fuse.

If in a bathroom or shower room, Part Pee of the Building Regs will apply in England and Wales.
