Hey, currently Bisq does not support native segwit addresses (bech32, addresses starting with bc1). You can send to P2PKH legacy addresses which start with a 1 or P2SH addresses which start with a 3.

As far as i can remember it is not. It would require significant modifications and therefore isn’t really being prioritized. Hopefully in the future as i too would love to see it added to Bisq 🙂
