Yes.  Emacs 27 and later uses the HarfBuzz library as its main
text-shaping engine; HarfBuzz is perfectly capable of rendering the
bengali script, probably better that m17n.  HarfBuzz is also actively
developed, so if you discover a problem, we can get it fixed much
faster.

You can.  But xwidget is a separate feature, so you don't need to use
it for rendering the bengali script, and it is not a mandatory
requirement for using Emacs 27.
