Yes: sec 15.3:

	"An exception is considered handled upon entry to a handler."

(This text appears in every description of exceptions, including the ARM.)

 > Will  uncaught_exception()  return false when you are in such a handler?

Yes. Immediately upon entry into a handler, there can be no uncaught
exception (you just caught it).

 > Most importantly, can such a handler call functions which themselves
 > thrown and catch exceptions internally?

Certainly. There are no language-imposed restrictions on what code you
can write in a handler.
