If you're handling key presses you should use the appropriate event
handler. Anything that needs to be run that isn't a user input event e.g.
simulation should be scheduled with pyglet.clock.schedule, schedule_once or
schedule_interval

That is certainly possible, you just need to schedule the update(dt)
function to be called -- it's not an event handler that's automatically
handling some event like on_key_press(...) is.
Though as Adam already alluded to, just because it's possible doesn't mean
it's necessarily the best way to do it.

No.
The update function is just a function. If you want it to be called, you
need to make something call it.

Personally, I set a flag in on_key_press and unset it in on_key_release.
