i think you will able to run openvpn without the server.conf but it connected to the server or disconnect is confusing.
You will get errors in connection because server config stores important setting for connecting to network.

this sure is possible; every command specified in a config file can also be specified at the commandline by prepending '--' to it, so

server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
proto udp
port 1194
ca ca.crt

becomes

openvpn --server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 --proto udp --port 1194 --ca ca.crt

etc
