Signalling when there is no space available should only be done when you need a car that has space to move over to know what you want to do so that they can move over to let you do it. Signalling when no one can give you the space is just asking for trouble (confusion).
Yes, but you should be sure you are able to safely take the action before signaling your intent. If you turn on your blinker before looking and there is a car next to you, that driver may be startled by your sudden blinker and the possibility that you’re about to change lanes.

Check for a space, start signalling, check again.

Signal before action, not signal before checking that the action is possible.
