Unsure about using one to control the rest (but probably entirely possible, especially if you incorporated the GPIO side of things to act as switch), but I'd imagine they would happily play a series of videos. 

Probably wouldn't even need to access a full blown desktop. All done via command line using the OMX player. If everything was encoded in H264 it'll handle the videos with ease.

Take it apart. Find out the actual make/model of the screen and go from there.

I think the hardest part would be getting 25 pi's!

VLC can act as a master and stream video to its clients (not sure if there's a limit on that - shouldn't be since it'd be UDP based), and the clients can be set to be in synch. I've no idea how well it would work on a Raspberry Pi of course...

Doing some checking it turns out the Pi doesn't have a real time clock. I'm not sure if that would affect timing or not.
