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$.
