2. I don't know of any approach anywhere that requires a glide slope intercept from above.
Is there a real place this happens???
Take a look at Manila RPLL, minimum vectoring altitude chart, within 10nm not below 3500ft, by then most often than not, ATC would have cleared ILS app rwy 24 which usually ends up high
