I think the simple answer you are looking for is "yes".

You might have some additional hurdles to overcome with technical queries if
you are using this for some sort of advertising broadcast medium due to
people on the list not liking that very much...

PS, AFAIK, number 3 wouldn't be supported yet... you would probably need to
tweak the DTMF detection routines to detect the beep as some sort of DTMF
and pass it into the AGI script which would react by re-starting the
playback.....
