kmz is only a gzipped version of kml so if you would really need to open 
it the only way currently possible would be to gunzip it and then send 
open it with marble.

Neither of those two features are implemented in marble yet and I am not 
really sure that those two special features are on two list next;-).
But in general I am currently working on improving the kml support, 
these changes will be included in the next KDE release(4.2) and the next 
marble release(0.7 if I am correct) too.
But you should be aware that I am still far away from Google Earth (I 
currently have ~1/3 of the tags that a kml file could contain, Marble 
0.6 has even less).

If you want to follow the development you need to simply follow the 
compilation instructions on the http://edu.kde.org/marble page, if you 
want to help with development just join the marble-team (either here, on 
the marble-devel at kde.org mailing list or on irc at the channel #kde-edu)
