If you use the USRP hardware (or any other SDR hardware), you cannot use GPRS/EDGE whether you use Osmocom + OpenBTS or OpenBTS standalone.

Why do you think that USRP can't support GPRS/EDGE? Is it because of USB latency?

And definitely there are SDR hardware which support GPRS/EDGE - it's just more advanced and more integrated then USRP.

Multi-ARFCN: This is an aspect of the radio-modem.  So again, on the same hardware any OpenBTS/OpenBSC integration will not change this.

Technically, USRP can support multi-ARFCN, but open-source version of OpenBTS doesn't.
