I have been using emacs on OS X (10.4 ppc) for a few years, and emacs is one of my main applications also. Aquamacs is an excellent application, and I believe the answer is "yes, you can do things as you would like" to all your questions. I switched from using Aquamacs to using carbon emacs about six months ago. Carbon emacs does feel more like using emacs on other unix computers, and customization or adding emacs packages is done in a more "conventional" way. This is just my opinion. Also, if you open a terminal or Xterm, OS X has GNU Emacs "built in", i.e. you don't need Aquamacs or Carbon Emacs, emacs is part of OS X
