Yep. You could paste it into VENDROOT/interchange.cfg, or save it into a
file named env.tag in VENDROOT/usertag/ (IC restart to activate in either
case). I think it will also work at the catalog level, which means you
could paste it into CATROOT/catalog.cfg, or create a usertag directory in
your CATROOT, save it as a file there, and put this line in your catalog.cfg:
include usertag/* #NOTE: this may need a leading '#', I am not sure, due
to new directives.
..and reconfig your catalog in either case.

Yes, that is right, provided that variable is defined on your
server. There is some documentation at the top of the tag. You can get a
table of all variables by putting [env] (no argument) on a page in your
catalog.

You can also capture it:
[seti script_name][env SCRIPT_NAME][/seti]
