The direction of feed is usually right-to-left, with the board between you and the bit.
Is it safe to position the board between the fence and bit, feeding left-to-right?–then the finished board would have a consistent width.

I'm assuming all router table processing. Unless you have plenty of priors and an escape option; I would not trap the work between the cutter & the fence. There is fixturing and technique that will allow safe work travel for sizing. But don't try it cold x guess & x golly.

Trapping lumber
Something I would avoid at all costs.
Only if you want to die :-)
Or your trying to create a router powered rail gun with a wooden projectile. :-) If you're milling properly your pieces should be a consistent width anyway. If you don't have the tools to mill properly, your boards are probably not going to be straight enough from the start to perform the kind of operation you're talking about without binding and throwing the piece.
