Either or is fine, but it is more typical to say "un excelente estudiante" because it is a personal appraisal that can vary between people.

Both. But it sounds more natural the second one.

Ambos. "Estudiante excelente" (sustantivo + adjetivo) es el orden normal, pero "excelente estudiante" es más enfático.
Atención: a veces, el orden entre sustantivo y adjetivo modifica el significado de la expresión. Por ejemplo: "Esta es una gran empresa (excelente empresa)" - "Esta es una empresa grande (con muchos empleados, de mucho tamaño...)"

Yes you can say both! There's no difference, some people would prefer the 2nd one but it's exactly the same
