Hello Pierre,
1-you can get some limited functionality by simulating a 'break' in the 
network and run srst on the 'branch' routers.  I've only used srst to make 
use of 'inter-office' calling and local access/ld services.  You could 
setup your dhcp scopes on the local routers to hand ip addresses, 150 
option, default image, etc. to the local phones.  Between the srst image on 
the phones, dhcp, etc. you can have the phones register with their 
respective srst - and then setup voip dial peers to forward certain 
extensions to another h323 router and reach extensions hanging off of that 
srst enabled site.   I haven't tested this, but I have ran srst and h323 
gateway relationships.
2-yes
3-I haven't really researched any freeware ip pbx software.....let me know 
if you find something particularly functional in this space....
