I would suggest looking into whether you can hook up to it somehow and fetch data from it (maybe via serial port or something ... even better if it has a way to fetch data over TCP/IP). If it uses some sort of RDBMS that Linux can talk to, then great. Failing that I don't see how you'll be able to achieve point 1. Another option, if there is no way to get call accounting data from the PBX, is to look into replacing the PBX with something like FreeSWITCH or Asterisk. I'm sure it's not easy to convince them to replace an expensive PBX they just purchased over Asterisk but, since I don't know the situation, I'm throwing the idea out there.
