You would need a lot patience because there are a lot of faces and the framing ehh not so much but still you would need to work from scratch then make the sprite 2D and then make it not cast a shadow and then overlay it above the texture.

yes you can, but is very tedious.

The solution would be to use the Item objects, using a custom item sheet that contains your facial expressions and mouth shapes. That way, you could easily animate those using the "custom item slot" setting on the Item's keyframe properties.
