That is normal. It only uses SWAP when it needs it.

No it isn't. Memory and hard disk.

It is possible but squid can't make use of loadbalancing/polcybased routing. Only connections going through the pfSense can make use of it. A squid that is installed at the pfsense itself will always use WAN only.
