No, unless you count via a project association.

Yep.  Perhaps you should file an enhancement request.  Technically you
may be able to do this via the obj_link functionality, but there is no
UI (that I know of).

Yep,  it is hard to really capture all the crazy nuances of real-world
scheduling in software.  The best you may be able to due is create
due-date events immediately before and after the meeting,  which can
also help in resource reservation since a meeting from 8:00am-10:00am
doesn't exactly reserve the room from 8-10, but probably more like 9:45
- 10:15.  Sometimes it is also useful to break up "a meeting" into
multiple contiguous meetings if in fact the attendance or topics are
sectional.
