Man, you should already have the answer to those questions since you have already asked them before :P

You can make models for Portal or any other Source engine game using Blender for example. I'm aware you already have the program installed and also the plugin to work with .SMD files. The rest is spending time with it.

I can do all the things listed with Blender. Unless you're doing like advanced bone/animation stuff, I think Blender is fine for the common Source Modder.

To make simple models you can use google sketchup,
To make good models use Cinema4D
To make Sequances you can use Source Filmmaker

You can and should use Blender for everything. Why? Because 1. you can do that there, 2. because Blender is free and open source, 3. because Blender has good community support (in difference to Softimage XSI).
