2.3 - Can I run mRemote from my USB stick and also load my connections from there?

Yes, mRemote supports a command line switch pointing to the connections file you want to load.
Save the following vb script to a file with the ".vbs" extension in the mRemote folder on your USB stick:

Set wShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 
 
run_this = "%0\..\mremote.exe /consfile %0\..\confcons.xml" 
wShell.Run run_this, 1, TRUE 
 
Set wShell = Nothing 

Or as an alternative, a batch-file:
pushd "%~dp0"
mremote.exe /consfile ..\confcons.xml
