1. Is it possible to use procmail to **send** e-mail to a long list of
recipients, AND have each header appear as if that recipient is the only one?

    You don't say how long your list of recipients is, but some mailers
themselves (I know Pine, for one) have a Bcc: header feature which
might do what you want without even involving procmail at all (although
at present, Pine, at least -- I don't know about some others -- cannot
operate in batch mode).  All you do is put a nickname, say, of the
recipient list in the Bcc: header field and put some dummy entry in the
To: field (that's very important!).  Then each recipient will only see
his/her address in the incoming mail.
