Is it possible to use build number in Affects Version/s, Fix Version/s?
Is that the right thing to do?
It probably should be the other way: have custom fields "Reported in build", "Verified in build", where the value stored would be a combination of "Version" and build number. Is that possible?
Not directly, you'll need a bit of code to populate the options on those fields

Depends on exactly how you want to do it - it's not simple code though. The most simple version would be something that automatically inserts new options into a select-list's list of options (which needs admin rights) and you'll need to decide how and when an insert happens.
Of course, you could just create a new field and add the data manually, but I can't imagine that being sustainable (although it would work while you wrote the code)

It could be - it depends on your processes and reporting really. The build number of a product can be veryeffectively used to populate the versions list in a project, the only real requirement is that you are working so that projects have a clear 1:1 relationship with products (you can have projects that don't have any product of course)
