Graphs are launched on "everywhere except wikidatawiki" iirc. Regardless, graphs can already use external data, as long as the data URL is part of wikimedia's domains. So graph itself can be on wikipedia or mediawiki. Lastly, no, there is no real interactivity except for the hover effect in Vega at the moment, but hopefully it will get done soon.

Lydia, can visualization challenge use freshly launched graphs? I haven't enabled them on Wikidata just to be safe, but it can be done very quickly.
I see no reason that they could not. The visualizations should have some sort of interactivity, and if I understand it correctly, that might be doable with Graphs. And if not it could possibly be achieved by combining it with a user script/gadget.
