Yes.  There is an elisp package called EVIL (Extensible VI Layer) that 
emulates VI in EMACS.

Since EMACS has a full programming language (elisp), you can write 
anything you want in it (mail readers, browsers, calendar apps, other 
editors, etc).  I've written a few things in elisp to mainly deal with 
global changes that were more complicated than I could figure out with a 
SED script.

No idea.
