//is it possible to use history and command completion with rc?

no. rc has neither of these functions. history is the job of the
windowing system - simply snarf your previous commands, edit in
place, send them down... it's much better than the history built
into most shells. you also have the _output_  of each command
right along side it. there simply is no command completion.

//is it possible to emulate the middle button on a 2-button-mouse?

yes. shift+right_button, i think. this'll work for many cases, but
you're still in bad shape when it comes to using Acme; too much
chording for this to be practical. really, invest in a good three
button mouse.
