Yes.

Yes. No need to use biber + biblatex, you can stick with bibtex.

I only run that command because my massive 3000+ bib file contains things that pandoc has trouble with (accents? Not sure). That command extracts the bibtex entries used in the current document.

As I write this I realize this means you don't even need to compile the PDF and/or run bibtex. If you have a TeX file and an appropriate accompanying BiBTeX file, that should work.

I don't know. Try with a small bib file with 1 entry (and a TeX file that only cites that one entry). Does that work? Then maybe your bibgraf.bib has the same problem mine does (although I recall pandoc issuing an error and crashing, not just freezing).

If this method works with a MWE, then the issue my be your full bib file. In this case you need to extract the entries used in this document (e.g. my method). Presumably this subset does not cause the pandoc issue. I also find extracting the entries useful for archiving a project.

You can extract entries as I showed, or "bibexport <file>.aux" (requires a compiled PDF), or http://korrekt.org/page/Note:How_to_Extract_Used_Entries_From_BibTeX_Files or other methods...
