None that I know of. Athough there are some plans, or projects in the
queues :-)

It depends. They are pretty similar if you look at the instruction
set, and pretty different if you look at things like memory
controller, MMU, or peripherals.

No. There is the source code, though.

This is the standard feature list, it seems.
Best regards, and a Happy New Year!
