Yes.

Currently yes, althrough the plan is to support gl display remotely in
spice.  The workflow will be completely different though.  Non-gl spice
uses the classic display channel, the plan for gl spice is to feed the
dma-bufs into the gpu's video encoder then send a video stream.

Yes.  Any qemu display device works with gl-enabled UI.

cheers,
