You can certainly do this, and I do it as well. Right now I have an
assets.tt that bundles
the different assets into blocks (core web site, testing, ajax), and
include the appropiate block
depending on the page (and have a default in case none were specified).

Unfortunately not yet, although this is something I've been thinking about.

Yes, built/minified files are cached and not rebuilt unless the file
mtime changes.
