There's a proposal on the wiki authored by Ralph Schindler. However,
this, or any other component like it, will not be shipped by 1.0.0.

No. However, I will be modifying slightly the point at which it is first
instantiated to prevent loading it if a developer does not want it.

Possibly. You can already do this to a degree by rendering from the
ViewRenderer's view object; the difference is you have to supply the
view script:
$content = $this->_helper->viewRenderer->view->render($script);
You can also alway render to a named segment in the response and
retrieve it:
$this->render('form', 'loginForm');
$form = $this->getResponse()->getBody('loginForm');
