The Exim 4 spec says that the "warn" command in an ACL causes a header
line to be added. I think the default text is the same as for Exim 3,
but I can't actually remember offhand.

In the same ACL, no.

Header lines added at RCPT time can be seen in an ACL at DATA time.

I'm not sure why you want the routers to be involved in this. Why not
just do the check in the ACL?
