I do not think that this is possible with column view. You could maybe get sum of the scores for each brand (btw, for the "non-german" people: brand ~ Sorte and score ~ Bewertung) by using the org mapping API: http://orgmode.org/manual/Using-the-mapping-API.html. But I do not know if it is possible to integrate this into column view. Thinking about this a bit more I come to the conclusion that what you want (2.) does not fit into the structure of your database at all. Looking at how a CV of your structure would be displayed, there simply is no right place to display this information. If I missed something, please tell me which column(s) you want to see displaying this information. If you just want the result to be thrown into a buffer, this would be totally possible.
