This sounds good. However, it requires knowledge of eLisp, which I cannot 
claim to possess. I would very much appreciate a code snippet that would 
get me started in the right direction.

Have you tried customizing org-agenda-format-date with a function?  Here's
the doc string:

"Format string for displaying dates in the agenda.
Used by the daily/weekly agenda and by the timeline.  This should be
a format string understood by `format-time-string', or a function returning
the formatted date as a string.  The function must take a single argument,
a calendar-style date list like (month day year)."

If you're mostly concerned about displaying dates, rather than reading them
in, that might do the trick.

I believe the answer is "no" to both questions: these are ISO week
numbers and org depends on calendar functions to calculate them.
