pipelining is sending multiple requests without waiting for the response
first, not tunneling.

No.

Yes.

end-to-end (Content-Encoding) is supported, but it is important the
server is sending a proper Vary header.

hop-by-hop (Transfer-Encoding) is not yet supported. This is currently the
main reason why Squid is not yet HTTP/1.1.
