If everything is on time just about. But it’s tight, even assuming your luggage goes through and it should you’d want to leave 60-90 means to clear security and board your plane as that’s likely a 40 min boarding time. I’d risk 60 with priority security, 90 otherwise personally.
If you want a decent meal, there is the Sheraton and Alt hotels available via monorail. Otherwise your options are extremely limited for someone not able to clear international security with you. Like Starbucks (maybe?) and Tim Hortons which rather limited seating. Though better at T1 then T3.
What is ABCT?
