No to both.

Hulu is making a concerted effort to make sure programs like XBMC cannot access Hulu content the way XBMC does. The reason programs like Boxee have a working plugin is primarily because Boxee uses a flash player just like a web browser and Hulu can't tell the difference. XBMC does not use flash so if it is going to play a stream, it has to have direct access to the data.
As far as Pandora, I think the only reason we don't have it on XBMC yet is because no one has done it or released it yet. You're probably much more likely to see Pandora in the near future.
Quote:“pianobar” is a free/open-source, console-based replacement for pandora’s flash player.
The source code is available via git and http (.tar.gz). It should compile and work fine on every GNU/Linux system and has been successfully tested on Gentoo Linux, NetBSD, SunOS, Mac OS X and Windows. There are inofficial packages for ArchLinux, Gentoo as well as binary packages for Ubuntu.

So at least theres a nice opensource way to bypass flash and play pandora, now it just needs to be made to work with xbmc such as porting to python ect...
