yes.
but for 443\ssl you will need ssl-bump which is a bit complicated.

you cant... unless you will build some external acl helper that will do
that for you with special openvpn api\logs and the client ip.
if you are willing to know which clients\certificate is being used you
will need to build a special cross longing analysis for squid and
openvpn logs like a "reverse ip to certificate" way.

squid is a http proxy and not rtmp.
rtmp use other ports then 80\443 and cannot be used over squid(you can
if it's tcp and you allow CONNECT and unsafe ports which is not safe..
and will make the vpn connection vulnerable and maybe useless)

if you have a solid reason to do so it can be a nice project to try.

a more simple way is to assign dedicated IP for each certificate\client.
