1) Neither. "Macros" refers specifically to code written in the VBA environment inside Outlook, for personal use.

2) No, the entire UI is not customizable. The Help file in VBA provides guidance on what is possible. You can also ask specific questions here about what you would like to do.

3) You can add buttons to any toolbar or menu exposed through the Explorer.CommandBars or Inspector.CommandBars collection for the main window and individual item window, respectively.
