I haven't looked into it. But my guess is - no. Even if you managed to tell the driver to re-bind that device, the handle nickel has on the touchscreen would probably no longer be valid and nickel won't know to re-open it. Just guessing. And if you have to kill and restart nickel you might just as well reboot.

There are some log messages and I've done such things before but that's not a very stable solution (like log messages change in between firmware versions).

It should work, esp. since you're already in this browser environment.
The CGI scripts included with webportal are all apps that produce html for a user interface, in your case you'd just have to fire some event or other so yours should be simpler. It's based on busybox httpd so you should also be able to find other cgi examples for that online.
