Dear all,
let me try to summarize this thread's R-WinEdt related messages and give a few comments:

Yes, as already answered by some others ...
There are plans to be able to have an R mode in the usual WinEdt setting, so R's highlighting will adapt to the current document settings, but I don't know when there will be time to implement that in a clean manner.

Thanks for this detailed and accurate description.

Indeed.

You can fire up R-WinEdt from R, but I would not call it "interact within R directly".

It is not necessary to have two installations.
