The best way IMHO is to render the texture as a "2D background" and
then add a wireframe showing th texture coordinates in front of it.

See Steve's answers: No one is working on it currently.

Yes.

In my own modeller at work I have many ways to select vertices. One
way is to select the vertices that are connected together or those of
a face.=20

So, when I texture a cube what happens is:
The modeller unwraps the 6 faces and creates 6 x 4 "temporary"
vertices. To select one vertex of several lying "on top of each
other", you can for example select the face and then say "select
vertices of face" and if you really just need that one vertex (this is
seldom, but possible), then deselect the other three. It is quite
tedious. I think I should look at other modellers how they do it. But
at work texturing stuff manually is low priority.
