4) do Python plugins have access to the whole program API or just to a
restricted subset of commands?
Whole API and all runtime internals including GUI, Leo is pure python
and plugins run in the same process.
That seems to mean that Leo could be used as a platform for developing many
different applications running on top of it, in the same way as the various
extensions of Emacs and Vim. Organizers, email clients, etc. There would be
no limit to what can be done.
Is my understanding correct?
Yes - it has a core tree of nodes data structure, but can work with
other data structures. Scripts and plugins have complete access to
everything at run time. I have an in-house database schema editing
tool based on Leo using leo2xml and xml2leo commands from the xml_edit
plugin. The quickest route to building simple apps. is probably the
@button functionality.
Here's a neat example of an app. for running RPG games using Leo:

Hah, that's my app!
I've also done a few in-house apps for updating my blogs and websites,
as well as typesetting (through ConTeXt) a few books I'm working on.
