Reasonably so. You resist a magical attack with your most appropriate ability (HW p.170). ISTM this would be a related physical or magical ability in the three cases you mention. The description of trolls (HW-NB p.101) mentions Darksense; that in itself suggests that darkness won't blind an Uz.
Is this "clear"? Well, not word-for-word explicit, no. But it is all in the rules, and seems to make coherent sense.

Hasn't happened yet, except for the Deshkorgos feats on HW-NB p.140f. Like Tim, I imagine that this is the way forward for most feat descriptions: situational writeups for NPCs in scenarios, specific to that setting. (Try saying that with a lithp!).
OTOH, if Issaries are overwhelmed with excellent fan-submitted examples of what you can do with feats, they'd be commercially daft not to make some use of them: by writing this stuff ourselves, we can demonstrate that there is interest, and a market, in such ideas.
