Questions

Is dora a yaku?

No. Dora add han to a hand that already has a yaku, but cannot be its only one. Riichi is a yaku, so a riichi hand with nothing else but dora can win.

Can you riichi with an open hand?

No. Riichi needs a closed hand. A concealed quad keeps the hand closed; any call opens it.
