This disclaimer should become your new signature.

It doesn't seem like either Dromed or DR will work for what he wants. At least not easily.

4 is possible in doom 3 as there is a script that lets you change ragdolls back into npc's, its something like unragdoll, although you would have to change a ragdoll so that you could put it in your inventory, but it might look odd anyway as there aren't animations for the npc to get up off the floor. I've only seen npc get up once in a game, and the npc were restricted to laying on there backs, so they could sit up, and put a hand down to push themselves up to standing.

I'm almost certain 4 is also possible. Bind an AI Rat to a nodraw droppable inventory item. (The inventory system is pretty smart: I've shot an arrow into an inventory book, frobbed it, dropped it, and the arrow still remained stuck in the book.)

 

A bit of scripting would be needed to ensure that the rat can continue to scurry about (and not remain glued to the moveable).
