Yes your assumption sounds right (if on seperate battery, then you need to use i2c for batterylevels). Buf of course you could just design double sized battery which replaces the main battery and not worry about that.

Current limitation from that pin is maximum 300mA but 150mA is recommended max current drawn from this pin to avoid any thermal issues.
