In one triangle, there can only be one angle greater than 90 degrees. With that restriction,
then the other two angles split the remaining 90 degrees between them. If the split is even,
then the triangle is isosceles. There's nothing mysterious or special about it.

It can. An example of an isosceles triangle without any angles greater than 90 would be an equilateral triangle, with all angles equalling 60 degrees. An example with an angle greater than 90 would be a triangle with angles of 100 degrees, 40 degrees and 40 degrees. You couldn't have an isosceles triangle with 2 angles greater than or equal to 90, as all the angles sum to 180 degrees.
An Isosceles Triangle is a triangle with all angles less than 90o So there are no obtuse angles (between 90o to 180o).
An isosceles triangle
No, an obtuse triangle cannot be isosceles. An isosceles triangle has two sides that are equal in length, but in an obtuse triangle, the angles are all greater than 90 degrees. Therefore, the sides cannot be equal in length.
Not necessarily. The two equal angles in an isosceles triangle must both be acute angles. If they were right angles or obtuse angles then a triangle could not be formed. If the two equal angles are less than 45° each then the third angle is an obtuse angle. If they are both 45° then the third angle is a right angle and if they are both greater than 45° then the third angle is an acute angle.
