Since it is a dedicated server, I doubt that the company that you are leasing it from would care. But ultimately to answer that question, you need to take a look at the Terms & Conditions of the leasing company.

Assuming that you can and want to, there is no difference between a leased server and one sitting on your desk, the tools are all the same. (Ok that's simplifying it because obviously you need to connect to the leased server via VPN, etc., but the main point remains).

Since you are new to mining bitcoin, I would recommend getting it up and working on a PC that you have physical access to, even if it's not for serious mining, you would learn a lot about how it works.
