Yes it is able. It has been done for mods, both Turrican musics have been done, and even simple 68000 can do this. Don't expect very high quality, though -- and exact cpu usage will depend on the compromises you make here.

Yes. Same chip in different hardware may sound differently.
Still, the chip side can do things at very high frequencies and this is equally hard to emulate.
