Yes.

Probably not, at least, not fast enough.  The gadget is required to 
respond to USB packets within a few microseconds.  At a minimum, the 
USB device controller would have to remain fully powered.

If the gadget is attached to a dumb charger rather than a host then 
there's no problem.  But otherwise it's not so simple.

Have you read the USB charger class specification?  (I haven't...)
