You may want to take a look at pgaudit_analyze which I think addresses 
#1, #2, and #4:

https://github.com/pgaudit/pgaudit/tree/master/analyze

#3 is not likely without changes to logging in Postgres.  However, there 
are plenty of tools for log analysis (e.g. ELK) that might help and a 
Postgres extension that allows log messages to be directed elsewhere 
(can't remember the name but Gabrielle or Simon would know).

As for #5, which activities aren't being logged?
