i've never heard of this. i throw my acid malt in with the rest of my grains to be crushed and mashed. no ill effects so far, as far as i can tell!
You can mash it with everything else. I use it frequently at 2-5% of total grist for mash pH adjustment. At percentages that small, it adjusts pH only and has no flavor impact. From what I have read, it's not until you get to 10% or higher that it begins to impart that acidic "tang" that might be appropriate in say, a Guinness clone

Yea mash in as normal. If you are able to measure the ph of the mash 5 minutes after mashing in, then you can add more to bring it down if needed.
It has to be included in the original mash if its purpose is to lower the mash pH.
