This is quite simple: The function returns non-nil if an entry is
active (recursion \o/):
(defun dmj/org-entry-is-active-p ()
"Return non-nil if entry is active.
An entry is considered to be active if it has an active timestamp
in the future or an open TODO keyword or at least one active child."
(save-excursion
(beginning-of-line)
(let ((children (delq nil (org-map-entries
'dmj/org-entry-is-active-p
(format "LEVEL>%d" (org-outline-level))
'tree)))
(timestamp (org-entry-get nil "TIMESTAMP")))
(or (org-entry-is-todo-p)
children
(and timestamp (time-less-p (current-time) (org-time-string-to-time timestamp)))))))

This is the tougher part: Because the state of an entry
(active/inactive) depends on its children the function that finally
displays the entries must first obtain the state of the entries and
their relationships and then remove all inactive entries whose
(grand,grand...)parents are inactive.
Sounds like you would require a a user-defined agenda function in
`org-agenda-custom-commands'.
