A Ladder

So I have a couple questions for the Master of Masks prestige class (complete scoundrel):
1) are they considered spellcasters? Thier masks allow them to cast spell like abilities, and they add an additional level to a previous spellcasting class.
Here's something else that's interesting:
Spellcasting: At 2nd, 4th, 7th, and 9th level, you gain
new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells
known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a
spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the
prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other
benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you
had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a
master of masks, you must decide to which class to add
each level for the purpose of determining spells per day,
caster level, and spells known.
so they gain caster levels.
but this prestige class doesn't need a spellcasting baseclass to attain.
Entry Requirements
Skill: Bluff 8 ranks, Disguise 8 ranks, Perform (act) 8 ranks.
Languages: Any four.
Special: Must have successfully impersonated an individual,
fooling even that person’s friends and associates.
So i'm rather confused.
2) if they are "spellcasters" can i use the feat Practiced Spellcasting (complete arcane) to bump thier "caster level" and then gain the benefits from a higher level mask?
sample mask:
Demon: This obsidian mask bears the visage of a darkly
handsome fiend. Small, black horns adorn the demon’s
forehead, and its black ears rise to points. Its smiling mouth
shows rows of sharp teeth.
Once per day, you can use summon monster III as a
spell-like ability, only to summon creatures of chaotic evil
alignment. As you advance in the master of masks class,
you can summon increasingly powerful creatures: At 4th
level, you can instead use summon monster IV; at 7th level,
summon monster V; and at 10th level, summon monster VI.
so if i was a first level Master of Masks and picked up the feat would i be considered a 5th level one? and effectively be able to use the summon monster IV version?
PS... would i be able to craft more masks if this raised their caster level? It seems that the amount of masks they can have is related to level in the class:
Persona Masks (Su): You gain the ability to craft potent
magical masks, each of which allows you to take on a different
persona and gain some aspect of that creature or
archetypal character. At 1st level, you learn to create and
use two masks selected from those described below. At 2nd
level, and at every odd-numbered level thereafter, you can
create and use one more mask from the list.
3) any other base classes out there with bluff, disguise, and perform for class skills that are not the rogue and bard?
