Possible. Might require make?

Not possible. You need to explicitly build the project. Not even Xcode 
does this, at least not for C++.

Only for things in the same source file, possibly for things in the same 
project. But it won't be accurate, that is TextMate doesn't have any 
semantic knowledge of the source code so it will suggest methods not 
available for a class. It's basically a simple word completion.

No, not as far as I know.
