It may, but also depends on the nature of the decision.. If PM's decision is related to organization's project management standards, and processes PMO can certainly interfere and advise the PM to follow the standards. 

If PM's decision is too specific to project objectives, project team, stakeholder communications, etc then there is nothing for PMO to interfere...

Yes for sure!

Why not if there is a value to be added or a remark that should be taken into account?

Basically PMO is in advisory role, and PM's should base their decision on advice of PMO. However, Exact answer to this question willl vary depending on organization structure.

 

In General, PMO can interfer in PM's decision.
