Yes, this is what the plugin really does - you specify patterns of
files that should be added to the project and see all of them in a
tree in the sidebar. You can get the sources here:

http://gitorious.org/gproject/gproject

Make sure you use Geany from SVN - the plugin wouldn't work correctly otherwise.

Right.

Yes. You can configure what files are considered to be headers/sources
independently for every project in a separate project tab. You can
also assign a keybinding for swapping headers/sources.
