Hello,
I run a separate instance for analyzing custom data sets within an offline version. Most of these data sets are in CSV.

Two questions:
1) is it possible to create a symbol and link it to the CSV file?
2) Assuming I'm able to create a symbol for that data, can I append just append the data to the CSV and it automatically reads the changes?

You can do what you want if the data is Daily Historical data, as those files are ASCII data files. Refer to the information starting here:
Text/CSV Data Format: General

But there is not a direct way to do this for Intraday data. You would have to develop a custom study to do this. Refer to the information on custom studies starting here:
Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL): Introduction
