A1: Yes you can add Flash to a OpenSocial application, and have it load data or assets from an external server. You can either use the js makeRequest (via the actionscript ExternalInterface) or you can use a crossdomain.xml to talk directly to your server. You do not need to bundle all resources in to your swf. You can load them as needed. Just keep in mind things like Cache-Control on files and using getProxyUrl to reduce the hit on your server.
A2. I've found using a combination of SWFObject + getProxyUrl works well. You can use getProxyUrl to get a proxied url to your swf file. Then pass the proxied url to SWFObject, along with your allowscript, etc, flags.
