Disk images can be mounted.
No.
One mounts file systems. A disk image may contain a file system, but that isn't always the case. Specially not with RAID5, where the file system spans several disk images - but the file system is less than the sum of the disk images. (For instance, the sum of the disk images contain the parity bits, but the entire point is that those are invisible to the file system).
