Would I use a short barrel thing for deer? nah. I want to make sure I hit the vital area and minimize agony as much as I can with high power ammo like .308 win. It is about hunter ethics. Not necessarily if legal or not.

When I attended hunter ed one of the enforcers of wildlife admin thing told us the top two felonies they work with are 1) trespassing 2) loaded gun/rifle on vehicle. I wouldn't risk it with a loaded AR pistol and having that discussion "it is a pistol"... "no, it is not"... you will win the case in court but you're in for a very expensive ride. How long it takes you to load the thing? 5 seconds? less? that's ok.
On the caliber question, yes, anything caliber 24 or larger is legal for big game. Now, for small game like rabbit, coyote, etc. you can use 5.56/223 no problem. But please don't use FMJ even though it is legal.
