In Asterisk's terms that is a "pickup group".

You could use one of the Snom pickup patches to have the
callerid transmitted. (Although as an Asterisk consultant
I would not recommend to use a patch.)
But there is probably no solution to the delay. The light
on the Snom would start to blink instantly. Not sure if
this comes "close enough" to the behavior of your old PBX.

Maybe you could dial the extension for 60 seconds or something
and if they did not answer the phone put the call into a
queue with the r parameter (ring instead of MOH).
