The etoolbox gives you local and global prepending macros \preto, \gpreto, \epreto and \xpreto.
I would say use a version of \@gobble which takes n arguments. If you need to gobble more than 9 characters/tokens let the first macro expand to a second gobble macro. See Benchmarking various operations of TeX for an discussion about this.
Yes, sure you can, see macros2e in Documentation reference for LaTeX internal commands? for a list of useful internal macros.

Does this mean this question is a duplicate of http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/4790/4012? – doncherry Nov 01 '11 at 16:50
The general question is indeed a duplicate, but there also two specific tasks discussed here which makes the question IMHO valid to be on its own. – Martin Scharrer Nov 01 '11 at 18:13

To add some information regarding a local version of \g@addto@macro:

KOMA-Script classes define \l@addto@macro as a local version.
While \gappto from etoolbox works like \g@addto@macro, a local version is \appto. Prepending versions have been mentioned by Martin.
