Yes, different view****ts.

Yes, but now you are getting to the point of needing Autodesk Raster
Design.

Yes, but the raster has to be a TIF and be transparent. Again, Raster
Design will add much more raster capability than AutoCAD comes with
out of the box.

That is dependent on your hardware, not software. Raster size handling
is a RAM and video memory issue.

Yes, using layers.

Yes, using layers and TIF files you can make that transparent TIF and
color you want.

Again, Raster Design will provide much more than straight AutoCAD.
Look up Raster Design on the Autodesk website to see what it does.
