Yes. See the discussion of the Argument tag in section 5.3.6 of the
Customization manual. You only need to declare the optional argument, I
believe. Have a look at some of the InsetLayout definitions is
beamer.layout. Most of these have optional arguments.

Yes, I see. I don't think we have the ability to output the "main"
argument with customized delimiters. You can ADD delimiters with the
LeftDelim and RightDelim tags, but these just seem to appear inside the
usual brackets. I suspect this is a bug, actually. With other arguments
you can specify the delimitersl, and they override the default.
