I would think anyone without eye protection would also be susceptible even if masked.

Yes, but you can buy shop-type safety goggles or wrap-around glasses or even swim goggles that don't perfectly seal around the eye like a hazmat mask or certified goggle would, but provide protection from pretty much all angles. Since there is no pressure differential between inside and outside the goggle there is no force to draw particles inward so the shop goggle should be reasonably effective if the wearer stays away from coughing people.

Yes. All mucous membrane areas are susceptible.
