Yes to the first: read in the file and pick it up as a string to pass
to execute-kbd-macro (see below).  There have also been attempts at a
macro-to-elisp converter posted here, but I don't think I saved one.

 execute-kbd-macro:
 Execute MACRO as string of editor command characters.
 If MACRO is a symbol, its function definition is used.
 COUNT is a repeat count, or nil for once, or 0 for infinite loop.
