Unless I've missed something, no, it's not.

Yes, looks that way.

I don't think so. One Apache instance has one configuration tree; you'd have
run a separate Apache instance per vhost, which would almost certainly be
unmanageable.

You can override some PHP settings per vhost in httpd.conf with php_flag and
php_value, but that's not quite the same.
