Guess it would depend what that entailed.
Don't think so. Even the Tories quite like devolution now.

It would probably annoy the English though. There is already a good bit of displeasure at the fact that Scotland, Wales and NI have their own forms of Government and England doesn't. On the other hand, I'm not sure how much of that is tabloid froth, but in the past few years there has been a trend of English nationalism replacing British nationalism in England.

Can't see Westminster giving up any more powers without a fight. It was only a few months ago that Gordon Brown was being reported as saying he wanted to take back some powers from Holyrood. Not sure how keen the English Tories are about devolution either.
