• Would this allow me to continue using my Action Tile panels which have Pin Codes programmed into them?

It’s not related to Action Tiles, but you definitely can set it to arm/disarm through a Virtual Switch using action tiles.

1. Can the additional options around keypad be utilised by say a kindle fire running action tiles or does it require a new, physical keypad which I must purchase?

Keypad is any device which is compatible with the SmartThings lock standard + some additional features. Currently on the ZigBee keypad provides all those functionalities (you could even use a regular zwave or zigbee lock for that matter) but I don’t think Action Tiles provides that interface today.
