That's correct, set "mcast_ad_hoc yes" in nfd.conf to force NFD to
treat all multicast faces as ad hoc.

All multicast faces will be in ad hoc mode once you've enabled it in
the configuration file. You can also check the output of `nfdc face
list`.

No, that's not supported. But it's also unnecessary because multicast
and ad hoc faces will be created automatically by NFD.

The syntax to add a route is the same: `nfdc route add <prefix> <faceid>`
