An epub file is just a ZIP archive of various text-based content files. If you want to version these, just store the un-archived version of your epub inside a history-tracking repository like SVN.

No. This sounds like a pink bidet.

Currently, no; in the future, perhaps when I add scripting abilities to Sigil. You should be able to do it then.
