No.
Everyone is getting less. Customers get same.

No.
As a customer I have now access to the "Source Browser" section in the Customer Portal that let me browse through the code (patches included). It looks similar to an opengrok instance.

Well, not really - you can revert the patch you get from the source browser against the tarball during the build, you get the same effect. But I recommend you to ask Red Hat for a hot-fix in such case, as a kernel build by yourself won't be supported.
