No specific bleed support. For bleed you make the paper larger by the width of bleed or just leave objects over the edge of paper by the bleed width, depending on what you do next. Using guidelines is helpful here in

By default it uses RGB, to do CMYK is slightly harder:

I myself use Inkscape only for graphics and import the graphis file later into Scribus to make press-ready PDF file using CMYK colors.

Alexandre Prokoudine has written an in-depth article about a color-profile-based workflow (Inkscape -> Scribus > PDF):
