Sure:

on mouseUp
  repeat with x = 1 to the number of btns of group "myGroup"
    put the hilite of btn x of group "myGroup" into btnStatus
    -- etc.
  end repeat
end mouseUp

Yes, but not automatically; you'd could do something like piggy-back on
the code above to retrieve the status of the checkboxes in the substack
to set them in the mainstack. You can also use custom properties or
globals, but nothing automatic.
