1) Can one of the SuSE Linux products (doesn't matter which, we can afford it) act as a fully fledged router?

Yes. Any linux can. There is nothing special in routing...
2) Can it do VLANs over ethernet?
Yes of course. Any linux can. See freeswan/openswan. Probably some distro dedicated to this task is easier to setup than a general purspose distro...
3) Can it act as a LNS for an L2TP circuit, such as those from DSL routers, authenticating against a RADIUS server?
I think I have seen this setup somewhere. Probably needs to use some pam module authenticating against radius. Don't know exactly how to configure this, though.
