is it possible with OpenLDAP to use a filter

objectclass=abc

as filter for syncrepl when abc is an auxiliary object class?

Yes, why don't you simply try? ;-) I did with RE23 and it works. You may run into some issues when having nested objects in a tree hierarchy though. Depends on your data.

Means: A MODIFY operation in LDAP (client ---> server) can result in an ADD or DELETE operation in the replication protocol (server ---> server).

syncrepl is a protocol initiated by the client. AFAIK in standard mode it just detects that an entry as a whole was changed by searching and then changes are applied locally as needed by the replica itself. delta-syncrepl (less chatty) might have issues with this scenario.
