  Yes. The maintainers of shared-mime-info will tell you if the type is right (I think, that it would be better to use <mime-type type="application/root">, similar to PDF, but I might be wrong).

  If the MR on freedesktop will be merged, yes.

  It depends on what type will be recommended by shared-mime-info maintainers. No, there is no sense to submit icons to shared-mime-info. The icons should be reviewed here by our VDG team but their names should be chosen according to the type in shared-mime-info package.
