Not easy (requires software installation), but possible. Not really needed (on the N800, at least) because you have the volume way down, and the other speaker is pointed at your jaw, there's no significant sound leakage from it. Again, with the N810's side-firing speakers, I can't say, but it might be worth it.

Aumix exists (in some repo, maybe extras), and I think it's scriptable.

Have you personally tried holding the phone to your ear?
Yes, after hearing it recommended in these fora. Of course, since I use my tablet as a music player, I just use a headset for calls as well, but I did try it.
Can I run scripts/commands from RTCOMM upon incoming call, text, or other?
Dunno.

Given the hardware, I think an app that had phone like functionality would be useful for a select few. I'm sure that it would have to numb the display to input from ones cheeks during a call and adjust speaker levels, but even for the original N810, it would be a useful to have around the house/cafe/etc.
Maybe, but it'd be a very select few... I'd just recommend this. (And I'm not really joking; if you want to use the N800 in phonish fashion, that's really not a bad plan, leaves the N800 usable while on-line, and it should definitely work.)
