Yes, as 'compile print' is almost the same as 'compile code' and for 'compile
code' it is already a part of the gdb.compile/ GDB testsuite.

I really have no idea(+interest+duties). Have you tried it?

compile_object_load() contains relocator for mst_text references.
Additionally convert_one_symbol()/convert_symbol_bmsym()/etc. provide symbol
addresses during compilation of the module. Some symbol types are resolved
that way, other symbols types the other way, it is partially interchangeable.
