Is there a way to get mailman to have more than just the name and email fields? While I recognize this would complicate things -- I'd really like to leverage the great interface, password mailing, confirmation -- etc. all in a broader membership database.

Mailman does not have a membership database.  There are 

unsupported third-party patches to provide a database "member adapter", but that's not the same thing.

Separate from the above, is there a way to make a call within "Full Personalization" to extract a custom piece of data to place into an email?

For example, if I do have to store the comapny name for each member in an external database, is there a way to get it into each email when sending?
