While not an art conservator myself, I do try to practice art conservation methods with my art because the job of an art restorer is hard enough without us artists using non-viable or fugitive materials in our work.
That said, I have not heard of "varnish included" acrylics- I avoid acrylic myself because its surface tends to be tacky or sticky forever- and it picks up dust and grime and atmospheric pollutants. However I have heard that certain spray on or paint on varnishes are good for acrylic. I would be skeptical about any new product until it had been out for a while.
As far as the other questions you asked, they are over my head, but I have a friend in Naples who does fine art restoration and framing- very high end stuff. His contact info is below (I don' t think he has a website).

He has been restoring art for a long time so he probably knows. I hope this helps.
