Yes.

Yes. Although if the directory is already configured, autotools would
re-run whatever necessary automatically.

Dejagnu detects subdirectories and runs *.exp in them. You can write
my_spawn so that it finds the test cases, compiles, and executes them; I
am not aware of any procedure that already does that, although I suspect
looking at gcc's or gdb's test suite could help. If you find a way,
please share it, I need it, too :) .

Yes.
