well:
from what I undestand ......and my understanding is small
for number one
if one is to encrypt non ip traffic or routing protocols then one would
encrypt the tunnel and send the traffic.
number 2
it is possible to encrypt the traffic and send it though the tunnel but only
for ip traffic.
so I say depending on what is the task one would use the proper technology.
