I think they would work well for that application.
About 5- 10 on the inside with the supports inside
In my experience, I'd say no - due to the fact that nails are so much easier to 'shoot in' while you are up on a ladder working and trying to hold the molding at the same time as you are fastening it. Trying to hold a drill and install one of these while on a ladder and holding the molding at the same time sound like a recipe for slipping and driving your drill through the molding or worse. But, it's certainly possible. I use very long nails to hold my molding - thus I'm making sure I get a good grip by driving them deep into the framing.
Sounds like a perfect application for these and you'll be left with a much smaller hole to fill than if you used deck screws - and a much more secure hold from these than if you just used finish nails.
