MPLS TE question

Hello,

Can you point me to the right references or help answer underneath questions.

I need to know if I can use the TE extensions to setup an LSP using RSVP-TE ( cross area )  in case my IGP is  hierarchical IS-IS (
L1 and L2 ).
Can I assume that summarization happens at area boundaries and that the detailed TE info does not get propagated inside the area ?

This is case A to B where A,B LER and L2A and L2B LSR

A - area 1 - L2A ---- L2X --- L2B - area 2 - B


If now I am only extending my MPLS cloud to the L2 routers ( L2A - L2B are now LER ), A and B are NON-MPLS routers,
can I then use the TE extensions of IS-IS to do TE between the L2A and L2B.
I understand that the L2 routers only  form L2 adjacencies, are the TE extensions communicated between them ?

A - area 1 - L2A ---- L2X --- L2B - area 2 - B

Thanks,

Dirk
