Hi Sietze,
            I'm sure others will answer your queries but FWIW, here 
is my perspective:

If the voltage is high enough it will become a vacuum emitter I 
expect. In fact, it might well gain a net charge through emission 
rectification (can lose electrons but not much else).

Short answer - no. It won't behave as you'd expect at any frequency 
other than its natural 1/4 wave frequency. At higher harmonics, it 
will develop voltage antinodes along its length. It would present 
complex impedances whose identities would vary according to frequency 
to the drive source.

He was really an electrical engineer rather than a physicist in my 
understanding.
