You can edit them during the render (final or viewport) and while the render is paused.
However, once you stop a final render, you can no longer edit it. This is a Blender limitation.

I don't know what you mean by "renderpath", but you get the light groups as AOVs (passes) in the Blender compositor.
You can use a file output node to save them to individual files so you can load those into Photoshop.

No, but it's not much different than in Cycles: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/late ... #combining
The names are different, but you mostly just add them together.
