Top answer

I'd say it's quite common and natural in conversation. I'm not sure how we'd decide if it's grammatical.

Yes, you can, but the second way expresses more clearly what you mean.

Edit.
To me, the two expressions have quite different meanings.

What, in your experience, constitutes love (as opposed to how you think others feel)? What pulls your chain?

What, in your opinion, is the meaning of "love"?
