I don't see why.  A LL parser only requires a stack and a table, and an 
object-oriented programming language isn't required to implement any of 
those data structures.

Again, I don't see why.  If you buffer the data stream then you can scan the 
buffered data without knowing where the data came from.  You just abstract 
the routine which fills the buffer and go on with your business.  You don't 
need an OO language to do something which can easily be done with basic C 
techniques, such as function pointers.
