Hi,
ad 1): plugging in, yes. No drivers available though.
ad 2): depends on the driver. It won't reduce CPU load significantly, as one still has to copy all data from/to the GFX card mem to Amiga side by CPU.
ad 3) no. PCI is not active at boot time. You must have some (Flash)ROM and drivers suitable to work at boot time (i.e. no ENV: variables, ...)
