In qiskit, I can transpile a given circuit into a some predefined gate set as follows (just an example)

from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from qiskit.compiler import transpile
from qiskit.circuit.random import random_circuit

basis_gates = ['id', 'u3', 'cx']

qc = random_circuit(3, 1, seed=0)
qc_trans = transpile(qc, basis_gates=basis_gates)

I have several related questions.

1. Where can I find an exhaustive list of operators allowed as basis_gates?
2. For any operator label from the list of allowed basis gates, how can I find the precise meaning of the corresponding gate, say as a matrix representation?
3. Most importantly, can I add my own custom gates to use as basis gates? Can I add parametric gates? For examples as far as I can tell qiskit standard tools include Rxz and Ryz gates but no Rxy gate. Can I make one?
