Of course the new readers support still LRF (and LRX), "BBeB" is mentioned in all specifications.
As for the latter, please see

Also, I'm not sure how ePub DRM works, but if it uses PIDs I would not expect Sony to register someone else's, e.g. Astak's, PID on their bookstore. They have already demonstrated that they are at least as short sighted as Amazon in that regard.

ePub DRM is tied to user account, and devices are authorized for the account (be it by Digital Editions or eBook Library). I'm quite sure Sony will be more than happy to sell ebooks to everyone.
