.su is available for registration, I'm not sure what the "in a limited way" is about. In Russia it's used to communicate old-schoolness, approximately.

Outside Russia it’s limited to renewals of existing domains due to sanctions. I believe ICANN is trying to eliminate the domain entirely due to it being obsolete, although I don’t know if a formal timeframe has been established for that yet.
It definitely is. In Germany, somebody was selling fraudulent public transit e-tickets on an .su domain for a while last year.
Not sure who the “.su” was supposed to appeal to, but they were slightly cheaper than officially licensed ones, which probably helped more than the TLD :)
Outside Russia it's used to communicate spamming scumbaggery and is almost universally blackholed.
