Bettas are tropical fish so its fine its really good so switch his food up in the am feed pellets in the pm feed flake food or in am feed brine shrimp and feed freeze dried blood worms is always good to change it you wouldnt want to eat patatos everyday for your whole life i give mine all kinds of stuff.

I personally think it depends. Check the ingredients of your fish food, the first ingredient needs to be some sort of fish or shrimp meal, or something like that, if it isn't, your betta won't get the protien he needs.

If he's eating it I'm sure it's not harming him :) You eat mexican or chinese food sometimes don't you XD
