Hello,
I was wondering if the current SME version supports 1+ IPs on the Wan interface (also known as virtual IPs) as well as setting up firewall rules on them.

No, it does not.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.

short answer: no
long one: search the forums, your question has been posted maaaany times...

if you need such a functionality, you have 2 choices:
- pay someone to add to SME's core (or, if you can, do it yourself)
- use a firewall appliance in front of your SME, and set it in server-only mode
