If you mean employing a text factory as a _text filter_[1], that's correct,
and these same conditions apply to every type of text filter and to all
Text menu commands (other than Hard Wrap).

There is not, since BBEdit will send only the selected text to it.

Not with a text filter, though one could do this with a suitable script.

Yes; attached scripts must be AppleScripts. (Though that's all the parent
chapter deals with, I can see how this may not be apparent in local context
and will clarify same in the next turn of the manual.)
