You should probably move to KDE compiled from git source.

Try adding "X-Plasma-DefaultSize=600,600" in metadata.desktop and instead of
width/height: 600 in main.qml, do the following:
property int minimumWidth: 600
property int minimumHeight: 600

This might produce expected behavior.

You can simply use Text component wherever you just want to display text.

The highlight follows the currentItem. So you need to add a MouseArea in
your
delegate with hoverEnabled: true and onEntered: list.currentIndex = index
This will make the hovered item your list's current item and the highlight
will
follow it.
