Hi there,
1) Yes. There are a number of transferable skills here. Of course, this isn't a silver bullet, but you can indeed leverage this experience to support a move to MBB
2) Yes
3) Relates to #1. I wouldn't say "highly regard" but yes this experience does indeed build your story for a shift to MBB PIPE
See below for some additional information:
What to expect in general
You should absolutely expect cases/questions to be much more deal focused. As such, you should practice M&A/DD cases.
Furthermore, they would absolutely expect you to leverage your existing experience in your answers.
Finally, I interviewed with PwC in their Technology practice and I can tell you that it felt much less "case-y" than the pure strategy firms. As such, just be prepared to not be taken through a whole case. As an example, off the bat I was asked "How would you organize a backlog of IT enhancements". Of course, I used my judgement to not treat it like a case and just went through the classifications/process I would use and why. Make sure to read the cues here!
How to Prepare
1) Search on M&A/Acquisitions/Valuation here (already done): https://www.preplounge.com/en/management-consulting-cases?language=en&topic[]=1&topic[]=19&sort=real-case-desc&page=1&perPage=20
2) Google and casebooks are your friend. For example (https://managementconsulted.com/case-interview/case-interview-examples-master-list/)...go to the various company sections to find M&A cases
