I was reading (*gasp*) more of http://thisismedium.com/tech/satchmo-diaries-part-one/ - Part 2 and part 3 seem to describe what I want to do. (Part 3 specifically with the modification of the cart details). I think this might be one solution to Question 2.
So, for Question 1, I'm going to assume that I need to hijack a signal from Product, and write a listener function to add a form object to the response, and then call that object in the template? I'm not going to mark this as "Solved my own problem" because I'm still open to any ideas. Thanks in advance!
