Yes, if you ask it to do so using -U and a proxy auth option like
--proxy-ntlm.

Yes, if you provide the correct credentials and the remote server serves the
HTTP request fine it should result in a 200.

No. You can provide the wrong credentials or get a remote page that doesn't
exist or is redirected or a lot of other cases that end in a non-200 getting
returned by the remote site.

Also, NTLM authenticates the connection to the proxy so if you get multiple
requests at once over the proxy, only the first request over the connection
will get the 407 back.
