Yes and yes. Of the 5 servo outputs, one is reserved specifically for recoil. Time to recoil and time to return can both be set by the user. You can also set custom endpoints for the servo to match your specific install. As Erik mentioned, you can use servo recoil in conjunction with other devices such as Airsoft, so this is compatible with Taigen's Tiger combo Airsoft/recoil unit. For that matter you could use servo and the Asiatam mechanical recoil units both, though not sure why you'd want to.

As with every accessory, there is an entire page devoted to the recoil servo in the Wiki, this one even includes a how-to video.

Battle behavior can be set to Tamiya spec and the tank will behave precisely the same way a Tamiya would in terms of speed reduction, number of hits to destroy, etc... See the IR Battle introductory section of the Wiki, as well as the instructions for the Battle settings in OP Config.
