Sure there is a lot more at play here than the AWD system being used (in fact, practically everything is different aside from the fact that they are AWD Audi sedans), but that is exactly the point - just as it's possible to build a boring MLB car, you can also build an exciting MQB car.
Definitely true. My old Mazdaspeed 6 was an AWD with front bias and it worked flawlessly and did not have any of the normal front drive bias issues. One reason why I was really disappointed with the S3 test drive I did.
