Yes. You can run it like this:

brltty -b ba -x a2 -X type=all

so that it will try to read everything it can from X through at-spi-2
(the a2 screen driver), and send it to the brltty daemon through brlapi
(the ba braille driver).

Yes, and very much more complex than doing it in Python like Orca does.
It's probably better to spend efforts on fixing Orca (its slowness is
not really due to the use of Python) than rewriting another screen
reader.
