Yep, it sure is :)

Maybe, kinda like buying extended range/coverage for some powers.
Still it definitely is not RAW and might be an issue for your GM.
How about an affliction instead? Call it Conditioning and make it part of the MC Alternative Ability suite.

If you have possessed them I don't think you need Mind reading or any other power to use their senses. Even if your not in control, and of course while your in control you definitively have access.
You can get Mind Reading if you want, reading thoughts that way may be less a delay then reading memories. BUt I would likely let you have real time access.
In my mind what your looking for are so close to each other they are perfect candidates for alternative abilities. Or if you can afford it Wild Card Power on your Possession. Or maybe on one of the mental powers rather then a set of alternative abilities.
