2. It's not possible transfer the ownership of a dashboard.

 

3. Yes, you can share a dashboard to a O365 group. For more details, see: Share a dashboard and reports with colleagues and others

    As for transferring ownership of a report/dashboard, I believe v-sihou-msft may have forgotten to mention that it is technically possible but only by retaining the source .pbix file and publishing it to another user's account.

    Of course, if the dashboard and report exist in a group, you can take over report refresh and maintainance.

    There are several work arounds if you get creative.
