It depends what information you want to get from there. It may be available in other places. For example controller name and action can be retrieved from

HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"]
HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["action"]

Yes, it is possible. You would have to reference the System.Web.Mvc assembly in the class library and then pass the ControllerContext object to the method you are calling.

The question on whether it is recommended depends on what you are doing. Generally it is not recommended to pass MVC base objects to another assembly dealing with Models.

No, this is not something that I would recommend you doing. Don't tie your class library to any ASP.NET specific things such as a controller context. Pass whatever information this library needs as arguments.

There are other ways to achieve whatever you are trying to achieve than retrieving a ControllerContext from a class library.
