Yes.

Definitely. Altough not widely used yet it will hopefully be the main
LaTeX font for the next years. cm-super should also be supported. I
think lmodern should be default when exporting to pdf.

I think it could be done like:
if mathpazo is available, use it (and helvet and courier), else
if mathpple is availabe, use it (and helvet and couier?), else
if palatino is available, use it
analog for times.
