Yes, features from 1 to 3 are implemented by my patch available at
<http://mina86.com/2009/05/16/tabbed-urxvt-extension/>.

I haven't updated it for a while so it may apply with some slack or with
some hunks rejected but otherwise it should be fine.

The 3rd feature requires some cooperation form shell or applications --
the terminal title needs to be set.  You may want to consult my .bashrc
which is available at
<http://github.com/mina86/dot-files/blob/master/bashrc> to see how I set
the terminal title.  If you want to set it to executed command you'd
probably want to use PROMPT_COMMAND though.

Also, if you don't mind patching the perl extension, you can modify the
key bindings yourself.

It's nice that at least someone notices patches sent here though...
