We are building a sort of panel of participants who will participate in multiple surveys.
The LimeSurvey Sync Drupal module provides many features you request :

When a user logs into our system and elects to begin a survey a token would be issued through our application and written to the Limesurvey database. These tokens would have a short lifetime, so if the user needed to access the survey again later, they would return to our portal and be issued a new token and directed to the survey. The survey itself could be enclosed in an iframe
.

short lifetime --> 2hours by default.
survey itself could be enclosed in an iframe --> invisible iframe or a lighbox.
If the user edit its respond a new token is generated, and a copy of its previous answer is keeped (This is a new feature that not exists into LimeSurvey !). The submissions history is enhanced.
