It cannot.  If the Dial app succeeds in getting a connected channel,
it will ALWAYS return -1, which signals a hangup to Asterisk.  The
only time Dial will ever return control to the dialplan is if either
the channel is not available or if the channel does not get connected.

No, again, the Dial app won't return control to the AGI script until
after the call is complete.  You're pretty much going to have to do
whatever you want to do prior to executing Dial or after the call is
complete.  Of course, you could create a separate thread which
runs parallel to the channel thread and does various monitoring
tasks, but that would require some C programming skills.
