Yes.  Basically any pagelist option is available for web feeds.

Yes.  In a local customization file, the following sets the default
options for a feed.  (They can still be overridden by url parameters.)

    $FeedPageListOpt = array(
      'group' => '-PmWiki,-Site',
      'order' => '-time',
      'count' => '50',
      'link' => 'Category.CoolNewStuff');

Yes.  In a local customization file:

   $FeedFmt['rss']['image'] = 
     "<image>
       <title>Logo title</title>
       <link>http://www.example.com/</link>
       <url>http://www.example.com/images/logo.gif</url>
       <width>120</width>
       <height>60</height>
      </image>";

It's important that "<image>" be the very first thing in
the string in order for this to work (i.e., no spaces
or anything before the leading "<").
