According to the EJB 3.2, "The interceptor-order element is used as an
optional alternative to specify a total ordering over the interceptors
defined for the given level and above."
So you can order default interceptors in the deployment descriptor and
use annotation to order class- and method-level interceptors. But the
<interceptor-order> must be specified inside default-level
<interceptor-binding> element.

Yes. That's it is for.

@Priority ordering applies only to the interceptors bound using
@InterceptorBinding.
According to the Interceptors 1.2 spec, "For the same interceptor method
type, interceptors declared using interceptor bindings are called after
interceptors declared using the Interceptors annotation (or using the
corresponding element of a deployment descriptor) and before an
interceptor method of the same interceptor type declared on the target
class or any superclass of the target class."
