1)Can Rule type Intermediate Event used or not in Normal Flow?

The following Intermediate Events MAY be used in Normal Flow: None, Message, Timer, Exception, Compensation, Rule, and Link. Thus, the following MUST NOT: Cancel, and Multiple. (page: 61)

The None and Link Trigger MUST NOT be used when the Event is
attached to the boundary of an Activity. The Multiple, Rule, and Cancel
Triggers MUST NOT be used when the Event is part of the Normal Flow of
the Process. The Cancel Trigger MUST NOT be used when the Event is
attached to the boundary of a Transaction or if the Event is not contained
within a Process that is a Transaction. (page: 59)

Yes, the Rule Intermediate Event can be used in that way. The specification was actually contridictory in this regard. This will be fixed for the next version of the specification (V1.1)
