A: While walkie-talkies are specifically outlawed in the manual, there are handheld scanners that have the capability to automagically pick up nearby transmissions. I have one on my desk. While that would do exactly what you want, remember the "intent of the rule." Is the intent of "Do not use walkie-talkies" to keep you from interfering with transmissions or to keep you from listening to begin with? There are probably some things said on those radios that aren't meant to be heard by teams.
B: Most event radios are provided to event staff by Show Ready Events. While radio use between events may be somewhat consistent, the frequency they operate on may not. It would be difficult for you to find those frequencies without one of the previously mentioned scanners.
C: Yes.
