Yes, That one will fit in a 1x or 16x slot.

Yes, but there are 2 different styles of pci-e 3.0 risers.  The ones with the connector going off the back will not fit in a 16x slot.  Be sure to buy the ones that have the connector off of the top.

like this correct?

If by jumpers your mean the presence pin on the pci-e, the 3.0 usb risers should already have the presence pin connection built in.

Will be using USB3 powered 1x risers

Any suggestions for mobos without requiring use of jumper cables?
