Cancelling ACT Scores

A few questions that I’ve been getting mixed answers through the forums and guidance counselors.

ACT has a score choice equivalent, correct? If so I’m assuming the same schools that don’t accept score choice for the sat (penn, yale, etc.) will not for the ACT.

Should I cancel scoring if I think there’s no more than a 10-15% chance my score improved from last test? Will selective colleges (ivy’s + top 20 schools) discard my app if they see I got a 32ish (assuming they don’t accept score choice).

Although schools say they do not superscore the ACT, many top schools say they look at your best scores in each section (on different testing dates) but don’t recompute your composite score with it. –> What does that mean?

Thanks
