Answer to all questions is Yes. FreeTDS works on any 64-bit architecture
for which it compiles.

64-bit ODBC is a little tricky though. The ODBC 3.0 specification was not
64-bit clean, meaning there were places where pointers were passed as
integers. AIUI this has all been resolved if you use the right versions
of everything, especially of the Driver Manager.

HTH.
