Actually, changes to the smb.conf become live withing a few minutes,
you don't need to restart.

Ok.

Ok.

I think so, this sounds exactly like how *roaming* profiles behave.  

Use a policy to redirect "My Documents" out of the profile an to a
'real' share somewhere like \\{servername}\homedir.  The same can be
done with other folders in the roaming profile (see the Samba Guide).
You'll still have roaming profile but the important parts will be live
and the profile will be smaller.
