, Trump could win Maine but the "combined" popular vote nationwide goes to Biden, Maine would then apportion their electors to Biden, regardless of the will of their in-state voters.
Theoretically, yes.
And if the voters of Maine don't like it, they can vote in a new state legislature that protects their Presidential voting power at the state level. That's how democracy works.
