1) Assuming they are decently well prepared, and you are using the standard TL 10- TL 10. Basically everything, but somethings (a large computer network for example) might be beyond their reach.
2) They should have AI's and robofacs. So none.
3) I don't know, science? Art? Communing with nature? Something a talented well genetically engineered person beats an AI at.
4) I suppose they probably have the advantage in getting to some sort of resources, but it really will just depend on where they settled, and if they have specialized production facilities invested in. But TL 10 production set ups are pretty versatile. Intellectual property maybe depending on laws.

To clarify, while they have highly developed expert systems they don't have true AIs.
