don't need the board on the tramp but yes a tramp with a handle attached to a tree is a good way to practice and get your muscle memory right. a lot of wakeboarders train like this.

definitely helps. one of the female wakeboarding champs came from a gymnastics background and reckoned it helped heaps with rotations and inverts.
