Yes but use sparingly, Dictionaries should be used as a last case option, if you really are not sure of the direction you're going in.

Clearly you could hide an entire essay inside the capsule and this is strictly prohibited.

Dictionary is only important if you get a topic or prompt which has a word in it which you don't know.  Then you are royally screwed, so why you should have a dictionary. :)

The lang analysis could have a few unfamiliar words in it, but it is more likely to have creatively formed words.

i.e. 'schoolies' described as a 'drinkapalooza' or something.

Encountering conflict prompt:

"It is the pusillanimous who always lose in conflict."

No dictionary = gg

Yes. But only flicked through. However, they'll likely see writing in there. And if you are constantly referring to it across the three hours they may become suspicious.

Just a pump bottle will suffice, I've always wondered what happens if you spill your drink all over your paper?
