I expect that it will just work<tm>. The local socket is just a
socket, and the protocol[1] message SSH_AGENT_ADD_KEY is the same.

That's up to you. ssh-add decrypts the private key locally where invoked
and transfers the key in a form immediately usable to the agent.

Once the agent has the key, it's not really possible to force the agent
to remove it.
