This is how the sample config reads:

; A context may be specified, in which if the user types a SINGLE
; digit extension while they are in the queue, they will be taken out
; of the queue and sent to that extension in this context.
;

The way I read this it would be able to accomplish most of what you 
requested, but I am not sure what would happen if you pressed an 
extension not specified.

In other words specify context=queueout in your queues.conf, 
have the following defined in your extensions.conf:

[queueout]
Exten => 1,1,Voicemail(1234)
Exten => 0,1,Dial(SIP/1234)

If the caller hits 0 it will dial extension 1234, or if they hit 1 it 
will drop to voicemail.  You will have to test it to see what happens 
when the caller hits a button not defined.

If you do test it please let us know how it behaves when an extension
is entered, but not specified in the context.

Hope this helps,
