Yes.
Any entries that have a plain time stamp like
* meeting with Peter
<2010-02-07 Sun>
will create a VEVENT
Also, you can configure the variables org-icalendar-use-deadlines
and org-icalendar-use-scheduled to make these timestamps become
VEVENT as well. By default they are set up to use these special
time stamps as start date and due date in TODO entries, but you
can use them for more. Take a look at the entire customization group
org-export-icalendar, there might be more stuff you'd find useful.

Yes. This function was grown, in the absence of predators. No
intelligent design here... :-)

It works, and I do not want to break it. Feel free to break it up,
test it extensively (!) and send me a patch.

Yes, you can use diary-like sexp functions to create complicated dates.
Hope this helps
