yeap
its basically a compound exercise which uses a large percentage of ur muscles
like squats, its just one of those heavy a** lifts which promote a lot of muscular growth

nope
deadlifts, squats or whatever wont affect your growth
search around
there were a few threads on this topic

edit:-
height wise, if it doesnt promote muscular growth, y on earth am i doing them
