Yes, no problem with any of those kind of facilities

No, but this is for two reasons
* CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE actually writes to catalog tables. It doesn't
need to do that, so allowing this would require some medium-heavy
lifting of the way temp tables work. A preliminary design was agreed in
July 2008. I believe it would be a popular feature, since about 40-50%
of people ask for this.
* CREATE TEMP TABLE is currently considered to be disallowed during read
only transactions. That might be able to change if the underlying
physical operation were write-free.
