No, it's not planned at all. Cache would be detrimental to performance since it implies disk I/O and/or high memory consumption (so a high CPU cache thrashing). When the modularization of the code is finished, maybe someone will try to implement a caching module, but I'm really not interested in this. It's too much complicated to manage (expires, rules to disable cache, cookies, ...) and is beyond the role of a load balancer.
You'd better use varnish, squid or any other correct project in a distinct process and/or on another machine and load-balance it with haproxy. It will easily scale.

Not I'm aware of, but maybe it's not too hard to package together.
