In 2002 Atkins v Virginia set the precedent that executing someone with intellectual disability is cruel and unusual punishment. Due to the lack of clear definitions regarding intellectual disability parameters, this tends to be a case by case issue.
Depends on the state's domestic law. Which state are you talking about?
These states allow it according to wikipedia:
Although most nations have abolished capital punishment, over 60% of the world's population live in countries where the death penalty is retained, such as China, India, parts of the United States, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Japan, and Taiwan.
I do not know about intellectual disability. That is more of a lawyer's job, I think.
