Sort of, though it's significantly different than what the 3d plotting
produces.  polytopes.blah.show()
makes a 3d graphic with edges and dots at vertices, etc...  so it
looks a lot different (maybe better).

Yes, that should likely possible and would be very desirable.

I don't think so -- they are just used for plotting.

Yes, definitely.

(NOTE: In case anybody tries, plotting of dodecahedrons in particular
is currently broken/not implemented in SageMathCloud, since it
involves polytopes defined by faces that have many vertices, and the
renderer doesn't cover that case.)
