Although also being a small SOHO switch, may be Netgear GS-108T can
suit your needs.

Not quite, it can download config from TFTP but only thru the web
interface. No CLI.
One thought: writing a script that the DHCP server would run to log
into a switch and grab a config.

Check check check.

Humm... it has 4, 10 and 20 Mbps. In the future you can also have
40M/60M/100M/200M/400M/1000M.

Not from factory, but you might build a PoE power adapter to replace
the wall adapter it comes with.

The annoying thing about it's the "factory default" button which users
love to press when there is an outage "to see if it works again".
Cover it before sending such a unit to field.
