No, deep highbar squats are better and the fact that you can use more weight means more growth
>>
Yes. High Bar Squats and Front Squats are basically the same exercise except the bar is placed either behind you, or in front of you.

I started Front Squatting because it helps with Cleans.

Probably bad ankle mobility.
There are some good stretches and mobility work here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XISJxsccN1E

And make sure you're wearing heeled weightlifting shoes. If you don't have one, the Adidas PL2 and the Wei-Rui Warrior can be found for lower than 60U$.
