Таке речення "It's the twenties decade" не звучить природно в англійській мові. Правильніше було б сказати "It's the twenties decade" або "It's the decade of the twenties". "Twenties" вже вказує на десятиліття, тому слово "decade" в цьому контексті зайве. Наприклад, "It's the twenties" або "It's the twenties era" буде більш природним виразом.

No.
Depending on context, you might say:
It's the 1920s
It's the 2020s
It's the '20s
