Wait until the pods turn brown and start to split, then you can break them open to save the seed. Seed stores well at room temp. When you want to sow them, nick the seed coat and soak them overnight, and some will germinate in as little as 2 days. If you don't nick and soak, you'll be waiting a long time.

I don't see why not. The seeds mature early enough in the season for seedlings to be big enough to overwinter.
