Does any of available C compilers support the conditional execution of
the ARM instructions?
Is there any rules, how to arrange the C code, to be sure, that it
will be translated to a strait segment of code, only with conditional
execution and without branches?

Any half decent ARM C compilers should. Ours does for sure because I put it 
in :-) and I am sure GCC/IAR/GH/ADS do too. I would be really surprise if 
Keil doesn't etc. So that covers everybody.

The branch tradeoff point is about 3 instructions so short bodies are good 
but really, don't worry it, just write code naturally and let the compiler 
does its job.
