Answers:
Yes, but supplement it with other types of food. Bettas will eat a huge variety including frozen or freeze dried blood worms, tubiflex worms, brine shrimp, mosquito larvae etc.

It will probably eat whatever you put in there for it but that doesn't mean it's getting the nutrients it needs. Betta food is designed for betta's, and goldfish food is designed for goldfish. A comparison would be if you fed a dog some cat food or vice versa. They'd be eating, sure. But they wouldn't be getting the nutrients they need.

A betta may eat goldfish food, but goldfish food does not contain the balanced nutrition a betta needs.

If you can't find betta food, you can supplement tropical fish flakes---many betta will eat the tropical fish flakes, which are a more balanced diet for them given that they are tropical fish of the Anabantoidei order (same classification as Gourami, really).

Each betta is individual though.some may readily take the flake foods, some may not. Keep in mind that goldfish food is designed for goldfish (cold water fish), who have a completely different diet than most tropical fish. So at the very least get your betta some tropical flakes.

Yes they will but its not specifically for them. They need Betta food. Each food is designed basically for each type of fish. Yes they can survive for awhile on other foods but they are not getting all the nutrition that they need.
