I can't answer all your issues, but I remember using vim and elvis in DR-DOS and FreeDOS.  nvi, which is the vi in NetBSD and FreeBSD, has not been ported to DOS.

I am in FreeBSD with base-system vi as I type this.

Eli Zaretskii ported Emacs to DOS, using DJGPP.  I used this for some time.  It's been years since I've used any Emacs.

Elvis has not been updated in many years, as far as I know.  I believe vim is still in active development.

Elvis in DOS was monstrously slow going through a 3 MB text file in DOS, but no such problem in Linux (Slackware).
