Yes but those outputs can't drive anything they are pretty much logic states. You need to add a wireless transmitter for the system it is to be used on to relay to the house
Yes it's possible to change your own batteries but possible and a good idea are 2 different things. I wouldnt get involved in that especially if your insisting on annual changes

Smoke detection in yhis case would be classed as ancillary devices and would not need to be disconnected.
However they are not the same as a 5839 fire alarm. But i have smokes and Co on my own alarm
