The first argument is the actual source code string, a char*; the filename argument is only used to generate pretty error messages, you may pass in some meaningful name or '<string>'.

No, both Py_CompileString and PyParser_SimpleParseString take the same first argument, a char* with the source code.

Not directly, you must compile the parsed input first. See pythonrun.c for examples, but you will end duplicating what Py_CompileString already does.
