And it will be "in turn" (assuming the presumption is correct).  When 
the player on declarer's right makes a lead it is still an opening lead, 
merely OOT.  Equally it's OOT when declarer/dummy choose to lead.

Yes, not a problem.  Defenders have a right, enshrined in L55a to accept 
a LOOT by declarer (Opening lead or otherwise).

An OLOOT by presumed dummy is trickier, but can also be dealt with.
