Yes. Using the Census Bureau's map as a source.

No. It just barely doesn't meet the 25% commuting standard.

Yes, I mean like that (in reference to the second part of your post.) It would be really cool to see Census Urbanized Areas of Michigan's major cities juxtaposed over one another to compare their sizes.
