AWC perks related to other classes' weapons

Can a class that doesn't carry a melee weapon get perks related to melee weapons from the AWC?

Can a Sharpshooter get perks that don't work with the sniper rifle (Walk Fire and Cyclic Fire)?

How does the Holo Targeting AWC perk work? Is the effect applied by the primary weapon (like in LW1) or does the soldier receive a Holo Targeter item?

No.

Typically no, but there are many perks that are tied to your primary rather than a specific weapon type. Snipers can learn Rupture, for instance, although they can't use it at squadsight range without mods to fix that.

It works like LW1/SPARK Holotargeting - any attack, hit or miss, tags the target.
