No.

Yes, you can.
The code is at 
java/code/src/com/redhat/rhn/manager/kickstart/KickstartManager.java
in function:
public String renderKickstart(String host, String url)
and the line is:
retval = retval.replaceAll(ConfigDefaults.get().getCobblerHost(), host);

but do not forget to fine tune your regexp to replace cases like:
  CN=FQDN
or
  perl -npe 
's|^(\s*(noSSLS\|s)erverURL\s*=\s*[^:]+://)[^/]*/|${1}FQDN/|' -i 
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
or
  COBBLER_SERVER=FQDN
or
  any other snippet which customer may put there.
