    Change the cylinder to a dual coil coil cylinder and then pipe the stove to heat the radiators. Make sure that pipework is on the open side of the zone valves. There are many variations you could use but it really depends on what you want to achieve, its important to ensure that the boiler is open vented or that it can be converted to open vent.

    Yes.
    There are numerous boiler(-stoves) and boiler combinations possible.
    Modern heating technology demands closed looped systems, these are more efficient due to lower running/maintenance costs.

    Get an energy demand calculation done (EN12831) by a heating engineer and ask about the non-sense of "zoned" heating. Ask him or her why it is better to have a room-temperature controlled output.

    Here a few modern (stove-) boilers which are directly joined to the CH system without secondary heat exchangers, pressurised and closed:

    There are hundreds if not thousands more out there.

    Get a heating engineer for the planning of your CH system !
