Correct. It will do even 90 degree rotations but not free rotations.
Free rotations are printed as 72 dpi bitmaps. Fortunately for me, I
have very little call for rotations other than 90 degrees.

Yes, it will. It is my understanding that one of the several problems
with permanent ink is the particle size of the pigments versus the 
aperature size of the 300 dpi jets. I have heard from sources inside 
HP that they are actively working on it.

I don't have one but I use one semi frequently and it DOES do NICE 
output. Very nice.
