You may want to have a look at one of the example plugins [1] which shows how to communicate between plugin and UI via
atom sequence ports with the plain LV2 API and then search for the analogous way in LVTK.

I do not know of any host supporting anything else than 'atom:bufferType atom:Sequence'. The answer thus is NO, as no
host would support that.

As for your other questions, I can't help, as they are specific to LVTK and I don't know anything about it.

P.s. there is a mailing list specifically for LV2 [2], you may well be more lucky to find someone familiar with LVTK there.
