I'm pretty sure Windows allows your PC to be woken by USB HID devices, like keyboards and mice and your BIOS might have similar settings. As long as your Bluetooth adapter is still active after shutdown, then in device manager you might be able to have it wake the PC when a device is connected, I haven't tried it myself though.

That would depend on your motherboard vendor (the only one I've seen so far that boots from USB is MSI, although I've heard that ASRock might, too, as well as others), but I'm also fairly certain that it's limited to keyboards and mice. You could try it, though, it should be grouped in a section with a setting called "Wake on LAN" if you have it
