I dont know what exactly you mean by projected lights but only point lights and directional lights are supported by Irrlicht.

If you mean spotlights they aren't yet supported but I think they will be sometime in the future.

Yes offcourse its possible! (With shaders :P )

For more info check out my shadowmapping implementation it uses projective texturing to determine if a pixel is shadowed or not. (Its even easier to just project the node's silhoutte then you dont have to worry about depth artifacts etc)
