There is no Stata reason why a complicated -if- condition 
should not be used. It is not the same as dropping 
observations. 

I don't understand the last question.

I don't think there is one, at least not in Stata.

Very difficult to advise without seeing your 
data or knowing your project. I presume from 
above that the outliers are all in the covariates. 
If any transformations are appropriate, they 
would be of the covariates. 

Check out -hadimvo- with your covariates.
