For numbers instead of times yes, there is often fun with complex
numbers:

|        | Col 1 |   Col 2 |   Col 3 | Col4 |  Sum |
|        |   <r> |     <r> |     <r> |  <r> |      |
|--------+-------+---------+---------+------+------|
| Row 1  |       | i * 1.0 |         |      |  1.0 |
| Row 2  |   8.5 |     6.5 | i * 7.0 |      | 22.0 |
|--------+-------+---------+---------+------+------|
| Sum    |       |         |         |      | 23.0 |
| Marked |       |         |         |      |  8.0 |
#+TBLFM: $> = re(vsum($<<..$>>)) + im(vsum($<<..$>>)) +.0; f-1 ::
@>>$> = vsum(@<<<..@>>>); f-1 :: @>$> = im(vsum(@<<<$<<..@>>>$>>))
+.0; f-1

The marked fields can be highlighted with hi-lock-mode.

Unfortunately it does not work with time format because the Org time
format parser reasonably does not deal with a Calc expression in a
field but "only" with a pure time.

For "+.0" and "f-1" see
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#table-float-fraction

For time calculation I would say yes and to use Org emphasis as you
suggest with bold seems a good idea. A custom function would be
necessary not only for @>$> but also for the other formulas because
Org does not omit emphasis when parsing the fields (which would be a
nice feature, maybe always or only together with some new format
specifier).
