No, but it sorts in the Calibre Library as if it has the preceding and following (01.50) zeros.

You can also change the template on the save to disk option or send to device. The following template would create...

{author_sort}/{series}/{series_index:0>2s}-{title}

/Author_directory/Series_directory/book_file

/Last Name, First Name/Series/01-title.epub
/Last Name, First Name/Series/02-title.epub
/Last Name, First Name/Series/03-title.epub


The extension would be whatever book format you use. Also changing the number from 0>2s to 0>3s will get you 2 preceding zeros. This might be needed for series that go over 100 books. The only problem is if you have a 01.5 Calibre doesn't allow for extra zeroes to the right of the decimal point on save. In those situations manual editing might be needed.

Again the Calibre Library sorts fine on large collections, including decimal places.

No. The beta test in the sticky above has custom columns and even in the current beta test you can't change it to year only.

I hope I came close to answering your questions.
