1.“满”=full of
You can say something like that... I'm not sure what do you mean by "common", we sometimes use some other words like “都”, “全”:花园里都是花;空气里全是烟雾
2.verb+来/走?
Actually, 来/走, they are verb... so... the most common usage is like, someone/something comes/goes:某人/某件事来了/走了(the latter is more like 过去了?)
这个新店搬进了我的城市。
进 is like a prep, 来/走more like verb。
if we say "a new stored is moved here." 一个新店搬来了。
However, there are some different examples such as:
老师搬来了我的家长。This is not formal but it makes sense. It means that "my teacher make my parents as an excuse (to persuade or avoid me doing sth).
