I don't think you can this year. My results page says that I have to call the school to decline or accept. Last year I was able to do it from the MSDC website.
Yes, mine seems to be the same. I actually tried to call the school to decline a spot (dd1 matched with our #10 school and her sister matched at our #1 so I wanted to decline the match for dd1, as I expect she will ultimately make it into the #1 school where I am enrolling her sister) but it is still showing up on the myschool site as matched. I have seen absolutely zero waitlist movement for any of the schools on her list- it really doesn't matter to me as I do expect us to end up at our #1 school. I recognize most movement happens after May 1 but I'm surprised that there has not been any movement at all yet as I'm sure some others must be declining matches like we did. I wonder if myschool is actually updating this at all yet.
The schools log into a system and make the updates, not MSDC.

Yes, you can do it via MySchoolDC. You'll also fall off of waitlists as you match at higher ranked schools.
