There seems to be two 'Instagram', the Instagram app and the Instagram
website.
I'm not sure what you mean with compatible with Creative Commons. If you
mean Can I explicitely say in instagr.am that the photo is
CC-something?, that depends on the options provided by the site (I don't
have an account).
If you mean Can free an image as CC-something after using Instagram, the
answer is yes.

Yes.
You can license your ow pics under a different license. And there's
nothing in http://instagr.am/about/legal/terms/ giving the copyright or
an exclusive license to them.
