It's already been tried, and the SCOTUS said it is unconstitutional. I think it was Cantwell v. Connecticut,  1940, and the Court was unanimous.

No, most likely on both Free Exercise and Free Speech grounds.

I'm really confused how anyone can read the free exercise clause as being ok with that Tongue

The Supreme Court has ruled on this question. It would not be.

^This, but particularly the latter. That would be a direct affront to the First Amendment.

Absolutely not, though (1) some people are deeply offended by it and proselytizers (if they wish to retain credibility) should respect this, and (2) I would think a private entity would have the right to prohibit proselytization, solicitation, etc. on its own property (with perhaps a few limited exceptions).
