is support for non-ASCII filenames in rsync complete?

Yes, there may be issues depending on the Samba configuration.

Most likely, yes.  If you use the same tool under the same conditions in
both directions, you shouldn't end up with a non-identity net encoding
conversion being performed.  Generally speaking, information loss could
occur if characters are passed through a layer that doesn't support
them, but this is unlikely when the backups are stored on a traditional
unix filesystem with binary filenames.
