Yes... - but that's no different from trunking to a switch.

Plus, you can permit "1-1005", and then you have all configured VLANs
available automatically.

I'm not sure how those two are related.  STP has nothing to do with 
"what VLANs are allowed on this trunk?".

(Besides: if you run bridging on the routers, they will do STP - but as
long as you don't bridge there, there is no need for them to run STP,
as they can't create a bridging loop)

No idea.  We like rapid-PVSTP :)
