No.

You can, but it takes a little coding complexity:
do the verify in a sub-acl, setting up a variable first.

For instance, I have:

# Technique for explicitly seeing defers; credit andrew@???
# Call this from a "warn" verb.
sverify_callout:
   require       set acl_c8 =    defer
                 # Easynet puts a 30s delay on bounce inputs :-(
   accept        verify =        sender/callout=60s,random
                 set acl_c8 =    accept
   deny          set acl_c8 =    deny
                 acl =           acl_delay_escalator "sender verify fail"

That's true. You might be able to do something using events.
