I don't know how long the batteries typically last unused, but to get an idea they generally have 8-9 hours "talk time". So I'd say you'd be pretty safe if there was a power outage and you needed to make an emergency call.
Yes, but they still require mains power to power the base station that your battery powered phone communicates with. I'm fairly sure that's right as I have a panasonic one which is very good but subject to this limitation.
