Generally proofs are encyclopedic. Much more so than many other items which we regularly include.
That would depend on how the article is presented. For example the proof of the [[Taniyama–Shimura theorem]] (if copyright doesn't cover it) would be on wikisource.
The actual proof itself, yes.
I would hope that an explanation for mathematical peons like myself would also be forthcoming. Whether that would be more appropriate to Wikipedia or Wikibooks is a matter for conjecture.
I am still having difficulty figuring out where exactly Wikibooks is supposed to mesh with Wikipedia in the grand Wikimedia scheme...to read some of the discussions there, it would seem that they don't think any kind of "meshing" suitable at all, which seems ridiculous to me...
