At least the power issue is solved by a powered USB hub [1].

Intermediate result

The powered USB hub is delivered, connecting to an iPad works.

At the moment I have no time to test it, however, Music Studio 2 shows

    Core MIDI (AudioBox 1818 VSL)

For recoding audio Music Studio 2 offers to select between

    Mono L
    Mono R
    18 mono files
    9 stereo files
    Inter-App Audio

but I didn't test recording audio or MIDI yet.

Audiobus doesn't stop "Refreshing...", if I want to select an input or
output. Perhaps I didn't wait long enough.

Even without launching Audiobus I can't hear an audio signal on any of
the 18 channels (8 analog, 8 ADAT, 2 S/PDIF), when playing an
instrument with Music Studio 2 or Animoog."
