Answer 2

The answer is yes.  You didn't ask if fescue straw was effective as a broom straw component.   That answer would be no.  As a C-3 plant, it will lack the required amount of indigestible cell walls to withstand much use as a sweeping material.  But it could be used in a bind, it would just have to be replaces frequently.
