Yes to all. for play lists, etc. you will have to use family sharing & shared playlists, etc. - streaming is via family sharing too. You can do all this with your phone via screen mirroring (on a smart TV) without the apple TV. Once you bring movies into the equation - the apple TV is needed.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, Apple TV can connect to your iTunes library via a computer or or other device in connection with Home Sharing. Both devices should be on the same LAN.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. You need to link to a computer with iTunes that hosts the library and use Home Sharing. It is very simple. I have an extensive library and it works effortlessly. To link, make sure the AppleTV and the computer are on the same local area network (LAN). The instructions are easy and intuitive. Otherwise, if your library is on an iPad or an iPhone,, you can Airplay to the AppleTV.
