I believe the issue with VOB files is the fact that files on a DVD are restricted to a 1GB files size. So in a long program you can end up with media spanned over multiple VOB files, which introduces the possibility of sync issues.
Part of me wonders that since Media Browser understands spanned clips in the digital camera world, that it might also know about spanned VOB files. But, since DVD is a deprecated delivery format, and Adobe seems to have lost interest in supporting it, I pretty much doubt it.

I apologize if you have already seen this, but since you stated that you didn’t know how to add a layer break, I suspect that you haven’t. Scroll down the page to the section titled – ‘Specify a layer break for dual-layer DVDs’.

If possible, you might want to try to add the layer break at a logical break in the video – such as in the middle of a fade to black or at a hard scene change. Sometimes we’ve experienced a slight jump in the video as the player switches to the 2nd layer at the break, and if this occurs during a black area, it’s not as noticeable.

We used to have such problems with Encore’s handling of layer breaks, that we started using ImgBurn to make them.

Never heard of an effective method to eliminate refresh rate strobing in post. This is something that must be handled during shooting. Once it’s recorded, it’s recorded.

I’ll admit, after CC came out, I stopped transcoding to an intermediate codec for editing. CC seemed to be able to handle AVCHD footage easily. Even playhead scrubbing was smooth – for a while. Recenlty, I grabbed the CTI, and scrubbed through some footage at a fast pace, and noticed that it was very jerky. I’m using the same camera as I was when CC was introduced, so it’s the same footage, but that jerky scrubbing let me know that Premiere wasn’t handling the footage as well as it used to. Put a couple of heavy duty effects on a clip, like Magic Bullet Looks, and the fun begins. I have to drop playback res to ½ or even ¼ to achieve realtime playback. So, back to transcoding on ingest. Luckily, Prelude makes this a simple task, and Avid DNxHD is a relatively very fast transcode.

Gave me a chuckle. I like stuff like that.

It’s not a question of changing the portion of the video to black-and-white, which you could certainly use 3-way color correction for(although there are easier ways). The question is rotoscoping out the unwanted portion of the color plate above the b/w plate. Rotoscoping isn’t possible in Premiere yet, and since we have Dynamic Link with AE, it probably never will be.

Here is a bitrate calculator that I’ve been using for years to determine exactly what you want to know.
https://dvd-hq.info/bitrate_calculator.php
The comparison between the size of your prores files to the converted MPEG2 files will depend greatly upon the length of your final DVD encode. Once you know that, you can jockey the figures to figure out the exact transcode settings to apply.

Unfortunately, it seems that you were backwards in your process. Normally you create the SRT in a subtitle program such as Subtitle Edit, then import those subtitles into Premiere via at least a couple of different methods. Subtitle Edit can then also export your subtitles in many other formats, including an XML.
Most certainly Premiere’s titles exist within the project file as editable text. I may be wrong, but I doubt that there would be any way to export or even access them to accomplish what you need.
