> (1) With which type(s) of BTS does OpenBSC work?

Check the in bsc_hack.c : handle_options(), it will finally leads you to 
gsm_bts_type() in gsm_data.c and there you can find the struct 
bts_types. For now it supports nanobts900/1800 and bs11.

OML stands for Organization and Maintenance Layer, it has a broad 
meaning, but in this case it's for configuring the BTS. Actually it's 
more for managing and configuring the network. Maybe other guys can give 
better explenation about OML NM.

Well, you should know that the whole communication is based on select(). 
All socket connection and traffic is based on select(). When select is 
called, it blocks untill a certain amount of time or an event occurs on 
one of the provided file-descriptors. It than searches in a list 
(Linux-doublylinked-list) which FD caused an event and than the 
appropriate function will be called to handle it further 
(callback-function). In case of a call you might look at rsl layer.
