Yes, asterisk supports both email and pager notification out of the box.
This is actually pretty flexible, since you can customize the content of the
emails to be whatever you want (e.g. some phones support two-way text
messaging).

Yes, this is possible. You would use the outgoing call API to make the call
and then use a combination of Sleep(), SendDTMF() and Background() to do the
actual work. Personally, I'd use an AGI script to do this so that I could
fine-tune the operation.
