The answers to your questions are inline below

1) Does JETI servo balancing play well with this?
### sure, why should it not? You can either use the Jeti servo balancing feature OR the PowerBox servo match function OR a combination of both for different channels

2) If dual elevators are stabilized, will it support their switchable use as tailerons as well?
### The PB has a delta mixer that can be activated to support tailerons, but that function is not switchable from the TX. If you'd be using a mix in your TX, the stabilisation might not work properly.

3) If I have 2 rudders and a nose wheel, will it support
A) both rudders on one stabilized channel with separate end points for each servo
### yes

B) Nose wheel on another stabilized channel with its own gain and maybe even its on mode (HH)?
### the Mercury supports freely assignable channels and servo matching for all 15 channels. So if you use the built-in servo match function for both rudder servos and assign these to the gyro's RUDDER A output and assign the nosewheel to RUDDER B, this should work fine. This way you could have two different gain settings for both rudder outputs and even activate HH for the nosewheel.

C) Allow the rudders to be splayed out for drag?
### that's a mix in the radio that has nothing to do with the PB

4) Is configuration through the blue thing with an iPhone robust?
### the PB Mercury does not yet support Bluetooth configuration. This is not necessary anyway because it has a display. The Bluetooth option is meant for devices like the smaller iGyros or GPS II that do not have a display

5) Is GPS data passed to TX via telemetry stream?
### no, this function is only available with the bigger PB Royal
