As to question 1, it seems to work here if I create a hair object linked to xpTrail, set root as Spline Guides, and use a standard particle wind object.

Use a material with the specular channel disabled. Infinite light with area shadows and a soft spot for fill/vignette. Seems like part of the key to the look they got was applying some luminance in the letter material and boosting the GI output (must render with GI).
Here’s a quick attempt: 8619_netflixtext.c4d.zip
Note that I turned up the letter material’s GI output to 300% in the Illumination tab.

Are you using a tablet? If so you need to check the tablet box in preferences>input devices.
-
Another option is to turn up the follow position/rotation values in the dynamics tab’s Force tab.

Try googling, “phonemes lipsync”.

How are you distributing the multishader channels on your clone? Random effector? Or are you using the index ratio setting in the multishader itself? The latter should fix the problem. Or if you’re using the randome effector, set the random method to sorted.

You can use the effectors from the standard particle system to influence hair. So you might use the attractor (negative value) or turbulence in force mode, or negative gravity … or some combination. Simplest way would be to keyframe the effectors’ “enable” parameter, but you could also do strength, falloff, etc.

Ah, I was looking at the guides which do fall off, but in order for the hairs themselves to fall you have to set the hair roots (Hairs tab) to As Guides. That will reduce your hair amount to the number of guides you’re using, but you can fill it back out by using hair clones (also in the Hairs tab).
Try this one: 8584_hairamt.c4d.zip
I also add hair collision tags to the S and floor.

If the import plugin is working properly the object buffer passes should be in a separate folder. They aren’t automatically placed in the comp because you have to manually define how you want to sue them.
If they’re not coming in you might check to make sure you’re using the correct import plugin. Of course you can add them manually, too.

Looks to me like you have to do it this way:
1. Got to Hair Edit (simulate menu) and run the unroot guides command;
2. In the Hair object dynamics tab, uncheck “fixed roots”;
3. Animate the “hold roots” parameter to make the hair fall out.
