Technically is that is how the 10th amendment works. If the Constitution doesn't say it's Federal, then it's state and if the State constitution doesn't say it's not allowed then lawmakers can make a law or give the governor the powers to enact a decree to the same effect as if there was a law.
So yes governors in fact HAVE the power to impose upon the people mandates.... unless they violate state or federal constitutionally protected rights or the lawmakers pass a law forbidding the governor from doing so.
Yes which is why these orders when challenged are in most cases declared unconstitutional. Don't forget SCOTUS with Roberts swinging for the other team declared religious facilities could be forced to limit attendees if every other business also had limits.

No it specifically says that states handle their own. The same way a Sherrif can tell a governor to bite his ass and not enforce a mandate.
The Republic system is very clever in that the people decide who affects them the most locally.
