maildir_delivery:
  driver                        = appendfile
  directory                     = LOCAL_MAILDIR
  maildir_format                = yes

  prefix                        = ""
  suffix                        = ""
  create_directory              = yes
  create_file                   = "belowhome"
  directory_mode                = 0700
  mode                          = 0600

>1) Can I use /var/mail as the default spool directory for all users?


Yes, but I'd only use that for maildirs that don't have a correponding

>2) What should be the correct permission mode of this directory?


That depends if your users have local shell accounts and on your
general policy.
