2. Alternatively, I am trying to upload a working AutoYast file via the kickstart uploader, but the "Kernel

"Upload new kickstart file".

that's a known bug that I fixed a while ago for SUSE Manager.
I'll check if I forgot to send that patch upstream and in case I did forget, 
I'll send it ASAP.

1. If you do send it upstream, do you know if it will make it back into 1.6 or 
is it going to be just 1.7 that gets it?

I don't know but upstream can comment that for sure :)

2. Is there a way the uploaded file can take variables (for hostname, network 
etc.)?

yes, see also:
http://suse.gansert.net/?p=319

There is an example XML with stuff like this:

<init-scripts config:type="list">
$SNIPPET('spacewalk/register_sles')
</init-scripts>

or

<listentry>
        <media_url>http://$redhat_management_server/ks/...</media_url>
