Answer 1

Old question, but I ran into some issues with the actionViewClass attribute. For anyone who runs into this later...

Calling findViewById(R.id.mnu_item) in onOptionsItemSelected will return a View anchor.

QuickActions on the MenuItems aren't good design, but I found that they are the simplest way to implement submenus with custom backgrounds.
