Yes, emulator has i486 arch.
 Armv7 target is for real device.
And yes, there are two ways to deploy   to emulator: Qtcreator and scp.
I was unsuccessful in both for different reasons.
 I could connect to emulator from QtCreator, but could not run, as there is no cmake generator available.

If I try to ssh emulator, it ask me for password. 

I've started to learn cmake. I will try also to ask in sailfish maillist about possibility to add cmake support for sailfish in qtcreator. Because I think this should be the prefered way to use Sailfish IDE.

I am also not sure if it possible to start any application in sailfish os in full screen mode.
