Yes.

No.  I implement this with transient maps (see `set-transient-map').  In
the simplest case, you can use them to make commands repeatable - see
"repeat.el", or the example in

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2017-04/msg00159.html

In the general case, what the user conceives as keystroke is terminated
when you enter a key (sequence) that can't be found in the transient map
- but this is even programmable (via the first optional argument of
`set-transient-map').


Michael.
