How do you check that 28 + 12 = 40?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 40 − 12 = 28, and 40 − 28 = 12. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

1 carry: every time a column added up to 10 or more, its ones digit was written and 1 was carried to the next column on the left.

Yes. Addition is commutative, so both give 40; the column looks the same with either number on top.
