1; It depends on what the windshield is made from, which may not be bullet resistant material if its in 'civilian' use (ie owned by law enforcement, which is likely the case if this was in the USA).
Yes you can kick windshields out from the inside as they are pushed into a recess in the frame from outside the vehicle and held in place by sealant. From what I can tell the MRAP's design is no different here than a civilian car. In the field it seems that they countered the risk of the window being pulled or knocked out from an impact/explosion by adding an outer frame that I'd guess screws into the frame. Police riot vans cover the windows with a cage for the same reason.
2; Actually quite plausible looking at the design.
First MRAP's are known to be top heavy and liable to roll over. So I would imagine that anyone with any real knowledge of the vehicle would be very hesitant to even try a PIT. And if they were willing to try probably wouldn't want to turn the wheel too hard.
Second the MRAP has a central main bumper that only covers the radiator area and doesn't extend to cover the wheels from the front, let along wrap around them. As such I would suspect that attempting a PIT would result in the front wheel impacting and quite possibly riding up onto the other vehicle. If not getting damaged and blowing out.
In both cases I would imagine that an MRAP is quite probably one of the last types of car or truck you'd want to consider using for a PIT. Chances are you'd end up rolling over and sliding down the road.
3; As MB showed in at least two episodes chances are that unless the cable is several inches thick trying to stop a moving car is just going to result in the cable snapping.
