Yes, you can use Flex tokens for any products or services listed on the rate sheet

No, you may only register for Autodesk Platform Services once under one account. However, you can create as many apps as you like from that account. 

For all premium APIs, fractional Flex token charges are accrued, and only deducted from your account (in integer amounts) when a full CPU hour has been consumed. For example, the Design Automation API for AutoCAD is priced at 2 Flex tokens per processing hour (1 Flex token per 30 processing minutes). If you run a WorkItem that consumes 15 minutes of processing time, you will see no Flex token charge. If you run another WorkItem that consumes 15 minutes of processing time, you will see the charge of 1 Flex token on your account (15 min. + 15 min. = 30 min. = 1 Flex token).
