Can Mobi and EPub handle something like <p style='text-indent:10px;'> or padding-left:10px;?

ePub can handle that, but text-indent would only affect the first line of a paragraph (yes, each outline entry would probably only
need one line, but you never know when the user increases the font size)... so it's probably better to use the margin-left style property (inline or CSS).
As for MOBI, whatever style (inline or CSS) you give a paragraph in your source (x)html needs to be translated/converted to an HTML 3.2 attribute in the finished product. MOBI is limited to a subset of HTML 3.2 and doesn't support CSS at all. So "text-indent" is translated to the "width" property:
Code:
<p width="1.0em">blah, blah, blah</p>
by calibre's or kindlegen's conversion process. The "margin-left" attribute is converted to a <blockquote> section (nested to achieve the required level of indentation).
