Looks like it may be possible to add a module to support nmh folder
structure:

   <http://docs.offlineimap.org/en/latest/repository.html>

If an NmhRepository class was implemented, one should be able to achieve
#1.

As for #2, it appears you would need a real IMAP server and then you use
OfflineIMAP to synchronize your nmh folder(s) with it (assuming that
NmhRepository is ever implemented).
