Answer 1

Yes, check this one out on google code, it's extending the TileList from the Flash UI components.

Regarding a preloader, the TileList should already use an ImageCell which contains an UILoader (so you can access bytesLoaded/bytesTotal) and it also inherits from the LabelButton UIComponent (so you have a label propert/textField available). It's up to you how you implement the preloader (either following how the label text is changed by the component to use that to display a percentage(%) based text while the tile is loading or using a custom preloader clip).
