Catholics cannot attend Mass on Good Friday, as there is no Mass held on this day anywhere in the world. In addition all Catholics over the age of 14 are required to abstain from meat. And all Catholics from the completion of their 18 year until they are 59 are required to fast on Good Friday.
Yes, you may touch meat. Abstinence is the penance required and is not specific except on Good Friday for many Christians. No eating of meat if that is what you "give up" for lent. Butchers must work through lent, hard to do if they were not able to touch meat. Many people give up other things other than meat. Meat is not a staple food for many cultures. It is the spirit of the penance that makes it valid.
Yes, they can; the only days meat is not allowed is Ash Wednesday and all Fridays of Lent, but Spy Wednesday ( 2 days before Good Friday) is OK to eat meat
