I wouldnt be so sure on that but then again you never know. There has been enough time for the meeting of hokages and kazekages to get to most villages. Garaa knowing akatsuki more than anyone would probably seek the advice of naruto as soon as he heard about what the matter of discussion was on. I predict he either will appear before pain is defeated or probably after but again its a prediction so its anyones guess until kishi hands down that final script.

Well he still has the power to control sand to some extent so probably something as simple as sand burial would not be too difficult to do. As for doing some of the more massive stuff I severely doubt it but still he will at least have enough power to beat the crap out of most people that attack him.

Actually the battle belongs to all jinchuriki both past and present. I wouldnt be surprised if garaa would still hold a grudge with akatsuki over his abduction, attempted murder, and the death of chiyo. Besides it would definately be the kind of thing that garaa would do and that comparison of him to vegeta is pretty spot on correct.

Not if he cant make a hand sign. If he is being held like a statue than all he can do is smile and great ready to be squashed like a bug. Even that move if memory serves me right requires a hand sign.
