Yep, all of this is possible. )

MS Office Online has instructions - I'm pasting them here. Hopefully this helps?

Here's info on looping sound/movie

When you loop a sound or movie, the file plays until you advance to the next slide.

On the slide, right-click the sound icon or movie.
On the shortcut menu (shortcut menu A menu that shows a list of commands relevant to a particular item. To display a shortcut menu, right-click an item or press SHIFT+F10.), click Edit Sound Object or Edit Movie Object.
Select the Loop until stopped check box.
Note Some media formats, such as .GIFurl==http://=http:///url files, are categorized as movie clips by the Clip Art feature in Microsoft Office but are not actually digital video. The Edit Movie Object command is enabled only with digital video files.
