Yes, both when you're referring to the specific battle described in the New Testament and when you're comparing any catastrophically destructive battle to it.

No, the place of a definitive battle can be anywhere from a mountian pass to a place in the desert to a farm in Belgium.

Yes, it should always be capitalised unless you think we should also type 'the valley of megiddo'.
