Not only can you insert images as dropcaps, you can actually format embedded fonts as dropcaps.
For more information see the Kindle Publishing Guidelines.

You can use custom Kindle media queries. For example:

Code:
@media amzn-mobi { span.kf8 {display: none;} }
@media amzn-kf8 { span.mobi {display: none;} }
For more examples see the Kindle Publishing Guidelines.

The preview is accurate. AFAIK, Small Caps require at a bare minimum a Kindle 3 with firmware 3.3 or higher.
