It should do alright, though it would have higher loss than RG6.

If your signals are strong, it should be alright.

Not for more than about 3m distance, or very strong signal.

It's VHF radio and TV security camera cable.

Very high loss compared with RG6 or CT100 or PF102 etc at 750MHz.

I would think that your discone and yupiteru would be 50 Ohm the RG59 is 75Ohm.
