If you change the Paper Opacity to zero then you will not have a white background. If you don’t want the character to be see through then duplicate it and have the bottom ones tinted or add the levels and move the slider over so the character is only white. Then the line art character on top will show the detail.

I’ve never run a digital projector at a movie theater so I’m not sure what it can and can’t do. I talked to a projectionist a while back and he made it sound like you can select what trailers you want and the movie and put it all together by selecting what you want and what time you want it to play. Can you import a Flat video and play it with scope only videos? I have no idea. If you could then in theory it would either crop off the top and bottom for you or it would play it bigger then the other videos, or it would pillar box it to fit. Having never operated one I have no idea. We have always provide both Scope and Flat. Then it will always be what the movie is. How much more will it cost you to do both and is that worth it? Sorry I don’t have a great answer.

Yes.
A trick you can use is to right click on a clip in your FCP timeline even if you don’t need it and do “Send To Motion”. Be sure ‘”Embed “Motion” Content”” is not checked unless you want the clip to be replaced with the Motion file. Then in Motion your Project Properties will be set to the same settings as your FCP timeline. Other wise you need to make sure you settings are the same. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Did you select the clip and do Send To Motion to get it to Motion or did you create a new Motion file and import the clip?

Flat just shaves a little off the top and bottom of the video where as Scope shaves a lot. My experience has been to provide both sizes, but that is what the Megaplex specifically request. Do you know what the theater wants, not the person doing the DCP?

My experience has been that theaters want Scope & Flat. Yes, you will need to crop off the top and bottom of the video to get it into that aspect ratio. I have to tell you, I love the look of Scope. Take a look at this spot I did that runs after the movie trailers at the Megaplex theaters. It is scope, but I also gave them a flat version as well.
Top and bottom are cut off, no black bars. Hope this helps and best of luck.
