A1: there's a wonderful plugin for this...
http://www.wpmudev.org/project/list-all
With it you can do all of what you asked!!
I've created a modified page where I placed the call to the plugin but you can pretty much place it anywhere. I keep this plugin in the /mu-plugins folder as I don't want it to pop up on the users plugin page.
A2: This one is wishful thinking - hahaha... technically... all plugins should work out of the box for wpmu so head over to wordpress.org/extend to find what you need. There may be a few that won't run as expected as wpmu is in RC mode! If you intend to place the plugin into your /mu-plugins folder then there will be quite a few that won't run... mainly because the code points to the /plugins folder... I've gotten a few to run by editing the code (and then told the author about it)!
