I think what you're talking about isn't deontology, but rule utilitarianism.
"rule utilitarianism" collapses into deontology or regular utilitarianism when pushed; otherwise, it's inconsistent. Though it is generally accepted by utilitarians that acting according to general rules will in practice generate more utility than trying to reason about every situation anew.
Possibly; are they distinguished in practice?
