Every transaction is passed to the validate_transaction function in your runtime, before it enters the pool. This ensures that the transaction is valid and also gives back information about how longevity and priority of the transaction.

    Theoretically yes, but that would make this check very expensive. But this check should be as cheap as possible, as otherwise nodes can start spamming you with transactions and making your node do expensive operations for free.
