Yes; it can also do multiple views of the same data.  (For instance,
collect bytes in/out, packets in/out, and errors in one RRD file, but
show these as 3 separate views.)

Not quite, though close.  It limits how much you can customize and
tweak on a given graph, in favor of having everything automatically
configured by default for every graph, based on its location in the
hierarchy of things you're monitoring.  In the latest in-progress rev,
I believe there's some patches which make it easier to add custom graph
parameters.

There's an active mailing list (cricket-users at sourceforge.net) and the
system is maintained as a SourceForge project
<http://cricket.sourceforge.net>

I'm pretty happy with it.
