Regtest is a network designed solely to be private and for testing only. You can create a private regtest network and do testing and experimentation with it. It is not a public network and has no peers for you to connect to.

  • Yes. You can use the addnode command and option to have nodes connect to each other. You can use the -connect startup option to make a node only connect to another node.

    You can mine on it. Bitcoin Core has a built in miner specifically for regtest. Use the generate command.
