You list three areas, not two ;-).

Yes. This has been done several times before, at least, and was one of 
the goals of the CMS.

To some extent. You would need to write custom code on your external 
resources to query into the appropriate APIs to perform the resource checks.

Not out of the box, but it is possible to extend the workflow system to 
do such a thing.
