Plugins are actually a different matter... and not a simple yes/no. You're going to be able to get Flash animation, for example. But the "SoThink SWF Catcher" plug-in (which lets you decompile SWF files) won't be available. You won't get a popup blocker; but you won't get popups either. I'm not a user of altBrowser (I haven't needed the functionality yet), but from what I can see you don't get IE right-click menus, IE button bars, or any of the other UI "chrome." What you will get is identical rendering of a web page to how it would be rendered in the system's browser.
"Your own interface to create plugins?" -- I really don't know what you mean by this but to my knowledge the SDKs for Safari and IE are not designed for Revolution coders. Revolution does have the ability to open a web page in a separate window using the system browser... revGoURL <url> is the command. In any event, altBrowser is a free download (nicely documented with samples) to try before you buy, and so is Revolution... should be easy enough to see if it does what you want.
