I can eat quinoa. I was afraid to eat quinoa right after reversal but now I can eat it without worry. I don't eat it with anything starchy or heavy such as potatoes or bread in the same meal. I would worry that mix could cause a blockage. I'll eat it with a protein (fish, chicken) and soft vegetable, and it takes the place of bread or rice or potato. Sometimes I'll mix it with chopped tomato, peeled finely chopped cucumber, feta cheese, herbs, vinagrette to make a cold salad. It is excellent fibre. Maybe try a very small amount (1/2 cup cooked) and see how it goes?

Yes, with no issues, though if you do eat a lot of it, it can cause bulking - depending or your transit time and motility, that can either be a good or bad thing for you. If you're concerned, cooking the quinoa a little longer than the recommended time generally makes it softer and therefore a little easier to pass.
