Not dynamic ones, no. A fixed query string would probably carry across in
the redirect if it's in the config.

It depends what you're trying to do, but any information in the request to
the IdP is accessible from the login context via the API. Nothing else is
allowed to be used.

No.

No, because under no circumstances can you require a parameter from
outside, as that is non-conforming with SAML.
