Yes, your head must break the surface by the 15 meter mark. Most pools have a different colored float on the lane lines at 15 meters to denote this.
There is no limit on the number of kicks you can take.
So the kicks don't have to be the typical backstroke (flutter) kick? If fly kick on your back is allowed, would *** (or any other) kick on your back also be allowed, as long as you surface by the 15 meter mark?
I guess I'm more of a traditionalist. If I'm doing backstroke, I tend to limit myself to doing only backstroke, and not fly. But if I can do *** kicks, I may play around.
