1/60 or 1/48 unless you want something different looking. The higher the shutter speed the sharper the motion will be but the more staccato it will look.

There is some sort of TC embedded along with the audio and video coming out of the Firewire connection however I’ve not ever seen any gear that could slave to it. Jam syncing is typically something you do with higher end cameras that have a dedicated time code reference connection. Here’s a link that might explain it in more detail for you:
Never heard of this issue- sorry. My suggestion would be to log and capture on a clip by clip basis rather than use the whole tape/auto detect method. Takes a little longer but much much more accuracy in TC.
The issue of what is proprietary specifically about the P2 port and whether another company would have to pay royalties or could reverse engineer without legal issues would be a good question for Jan.
