1) Yes, you can make a script that starts on device boot.
2) Sadly you cannot use node libs. The JS engine I use is pretty dated (Mozilla Rhino) and I dont have time these days to do big changes.
3) Yes, you can interface with Arduino compatible hardware via USB serial or Bluetooth / Bluetooth LE.
4) If you want to do something screen less, you can run a script as a service (background). A bunch of years ago, when the ESP modules were not common I used an Android device as a network interface for my Arduino :)
