The big question is: is it possible to "profile" a monitor in one

It is possible, but colors will be off.
It depends.
If you have an analog (VGA, blue connector) video connection – forget
it!
If you have a digital (DVI, Display Port) connection, the signal is
independent from the graphics card (it´s digital, 0s and 1s)
Would it be accurate to do so?
Nope.
Again: It depends, see above
Or is this hardware calibrating tool not only "measuring" and
creating a profile, but also "correcting" values instead, so there
is no chance to use the monitor in another mac (and believe it is
calibrated)?
A profile on a 8 bit monitor will adjust the LUT in the graphics
card, so the profile will only be accurate if you use the same
graphics card and monitor as was used when profiling.
A proper profile contains the video LUTs and loads them automatically
(Mac) or with a LUT-loader program (PC), that needs to be installed on
the receiving PC and which is proprietary for the profiler used, at
system start or when selecting a profile (again: Mac only).
A hardware calibratable monitor holds its own LUTs, the video LUT in
the graphics card should be linear. Such a monitor can be moved to any
other computer with a digital video card. Of course the profile has to
be moved with the monitor.
