It doesn't appear that the built in Sony reader app on the T1 can do this. Pulling apart the app, there's the following text:
buttonBookFontSelect_Amasis
buttonBookFontSelect_Frutigerneue
buttonBookFontSelect_Original
buttonBookFontSelect_Palatinonova
buttonBookFontSelect_Reallyno2
buttonBookFontSelect_Universnext
buttonBookFontSelect_Verdana
That same list of fonts appears in a few other places, so it seems that the font list for the built in reader app is fixed and not dynamic.
If you root, you can use a different reader app (FBreader, CoolReader), but these don't seem as polished (eg, the periodical format is lacking).

Also, does the t1 accept a user CSS to override whatever CSS there may be in the book? If so, how extensive is CSS support? Does it do text-shadow?

I can't find any evidence of a PRS+ style "user CSS" for the T1. This would be the holy grail, as far as I'm concerned...
I'm starting to wonder if one solution is to try to import a user CSS? Maybe something like
@import url(res:///mnt/sdcard/css/my.css);
or if that doesn't work even something like
@import url(res:///ebook/fonts/../../mnt/sdcard/css/my.css);
in each epub. Sure that means you still need to add that line to everything, but if it works then at least you don't then need to regenerate every epub if you decide you like a different font later on.
