On #2, Imo the air temperatures you would be able to deliver to said heat exchanger would tend to only marginally outpace the normal rising of the coolant temps. I think a normal hot air intake would provide a similar benefit, with less cost and complexity. If you run with your idea, I would rely on the ducting of the intake air, and not use a fan.
