Trading Post Mass Sell
No. Right now, if you try to sell more than a few items in a short time frame, you get an error message saying that you’ve sold too many things recently. John Smith, the economist at Anet has states that this is a technical limitation. So I imagine this idea is even further out there than just removing that cap (which they won’t).

ArenaNet would never implement mass selling simply because it’s not required. The selling limitations are really not a problem, since the items can simply be queued for sale on the client side. If ArenaNet said it was okay to mod the trading post, I guarantee you this feature would be available.
It’s a great idea for power traders — they’d make a fortune on the vast increase in the number of people selling off their inventories for the lowest possible prices. It’s a terrible idea for the average consumer, since it creates an incentive to insta-sell.

This is available now via 3rd party sites (those are accessible via the wiki, too). That’s not as good as being in game, but then, I’m okay with the TP interface being less of a priority than other aspects of the game.
Yes, queue all the marked items in the inventory for sale. Then sell them off as slots appear.
