No - alas OS X does not (yet) allow the Mac to act as a handsfree device.

Theoretically, yes; it's just a matter of writing one. However, I don't know of any such app. BluePhoneElite doesn't look as though it does voice yet, but it's worth a try.

I really hope Apple adds this to OS X. I have been waiting for this feature for quite a while.
