May I try to answer some questions that do not touch IDEA itself :)

You may create a special Ant task for you purposes of compiller errors
handling. The invoke it in Ant script after compilation.
Any output from this task will be shown in messages pane.
So I think there is no need for any plugin here, unless you want to access
the errors list produced by IDEA's own compilation mechanism.

No problem to call java class as external tool. Just create .bat or .sh file
and make it call java.exe with appropriate parameters.
You may pass any IDEA's macros as command-line parameter to .bat file in
external tool configuration.
