Answer 1

Yes, Fennec supports add-ons. In general, you develop you add-on just like for the desktop Firefox: How do I write a Firefox Addon?

There are currently two Fennec variants around. The "old" one uses a XUL-based user interface and multiple processes. Here is a good entry point if you are looking for documentation.

The "new" one uses a native Android user interface - it will soon replace the XUL-based variant on the mobile phones, tablets should follow a bit later. It uses a single process like the desktop Firefox. There is very little documentation at the moment, it's mostly this text.
