BTM uses ByteMan to instrument a java app and the information is then reported to the server via a REST API - so it would also be possible for apps to directly report the business transaction info to the server via the same REST API if they wished.

A demo of the latest release can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCIgC3QuJTI

Currently business transaction config details are stored in json files, but I'm currently working on a UI for the next release which should make it a bit easier to work with.

Not currently. Before BTM could store information in metrics, this issue https://issues.jboss.org/browse/HWKMETRICS-253 would need to be resolved.
