I've not looked at firstboot in quite a while, but yes I do think that
would be possible.

This hasn't been decided yet.  The firstboot-like screens on the second
hub of anaconda are currently targeted for F19, so I've not even started
to look at how this communication will be accomplished.

Current newui anaconda does not include a place to set up a root
password - we're moving towards having just the user created during
installation to be set up in sudo and all that as well.  So yeah, we'll
have to create a user somewhere in anaconda.  The plan was to do that
off the second hub, and yes I think it was going to be pretty
fully-featured.

Everything off the second hub is planned as being optional to do within
anaconda.  Some of the things may be required to be done eventually,
though.  At least, you will need to create a user somewhere if you
expect to be able to log in.
