Yes. You can cook raw chicken in a slow cooker provided you cook it with the lid on and long enough for the chicken to cook through. The steam and heat from the slow cooker should easily cook your chicken from raw to fully cooked. Always check to make sure juices run clear and the meat is white
Yes, you can. If chicken cooks too long, it will turn tough and rubbery. To avoid tough chicken cook it low and slow and make sure that there is enough sauce and juice covering it while it cooks

You can certainly add fewer chicken breasts to feed fewer people
If you would like to add more chicken breasts and sauce to feed a larger crowd, make sure your slow cooker is wide enough to cook them side by side. If you stack the chicken, it will take much longer to cook
