Yes, Z68 motherboards can be used with IB processors.

Practically, very few people would want to upgrade from 2600K unless they are interested in benchmarking or die hard enthusiasts.

Ivy supporting BIOS'es are being rolled out for Z68 boards ATM, ASUS has released their BIOS months ago, so, yes it will.

typo corrected. Auto corrector didn't work as sued is, itself another word.
