I can at least talk about the third question.  There was work on a marc 
attribute set, though not completed.  If you look at the oid register at 
http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/defns/oids.html you'll see that the latest 
work on it (second draft) was in 2000, 
http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/iso/z3950/MARC_attribute_set_2.doc. So if someone 
actually wanted to put it to use it would have to be completed.

For SRU there is a complete marc context set,
