1) Try it and see if you can get the hood to cast a shadow. When shooting with the sun behind the hard part is keeping the shadow created by your head out of the shot! The lens hood doesn't really factor.
2) Arguably the hood is more usefull in the golden hour, the low light will be more likely to be directly hitting the lens even without the sun in frame. It definately won't have any detrimental effects.
As ken said the only time I can see when a hood would be a problem would be when using the pop up flash. Otherwise just keep it on.
