Yes.

No, integers are integers whether written decimal or hexadecimal
(or in binary or whatever other base[*]).
What you can do depends on the software you use.
The SendMessage command in the standard firmware can send values
in the range 0-255 (0x00-0xff, 1 byte).
In Lejos you can send strings and all primitive data types
(no serialization of objects).
I don't know what brickOS offers, at least you can convert to
bytes by hand and send them.

Never mind the header, that's internal RCX business.
