A person needs to stand, walk, the path is bricked and mildly damp in spots, elevator to cave floor is tightest spot on normal tour. There are handrails. Lighting is dim.

I would say no.

No, there are many stairs

I have multiple joint replacements and I walk with a cane. There are a set of stairs to enter and leave the actual cavern. Once on the cave floor there is a well maintained wide pathway with railings. At the end of the cavern is a boat ride down the river. It is a large step down and up but there is a person to assist. The. Trip out of the cave is the same way you came in but it in an up hill treck. I made it through with a little huffing and puffing. I would not recommend it if you are in any kind of chair or limited to a little physical walking. If you can handle the steps or if you have a rolling walker and the uphill walk it was a great experience.

Limited access. It wouldn't be worth the trip.

Yes but there is a few spots in the caverns that are not.
