Yes, those work well.

In order to have their configuration managed by OpenWISP, at this moment 
they need to be OpenWRT based.
If you leave the original firmware at the moment the maximum you can do is 
to place them on the outdoor and indoor maps.

Yes, but you could also use coova-chilli as captive portal running on the 
OpenWRT devices directly, that would allow you to avoid having to 
centralize the traffic to a single PfSense instance (you would need a VPN 
if you want to host this PfSense on ther internet, which would make things 
slow, if you run PfSense in your hotel it's fine but I don't suggest to run 
the OpenWISP server and the captive page in your hotel because otherwise 
you wouldn't be able to get a valid SSL certificate easily if your hotel 
does not have public IP addresses and that's not good for your users).

Yes, it's documented here:
