Just make portal A a scrubber intaking gasses, and portal B a scrubber linked to A that outtakes. The code is there it'd just have to be adapted.
No, because this would cause fucking catastrophes with atmos. But hey, at least you had an idea I guess. The closest approximation which would make sense probably would be a manual gas exchange if there is a portal on the turf between the two airgroups.
Also: the hand tele is locked onto beacons. It would be way too easy to vent the station by opening portals to a spaced beacon, as all air would simply leak out into the space area. I like to think portals are airtight.
The hand tele portals last for roughly 2 minutes. Imagine what an 1x1 space hole does to a room in 2 minutes.
