The list is moderated for unknown mail addresses, so you have to wait
until the moderator releases your message.

Yes.

For font locking?  This is done with syntactic keywords.  The regular
expressions for that are built in `font-latex-set-syntactic-keywords'
and hooked into the respective font-lock mechanism.  See font-lock.el
for more info on font locking with syntactic keywords.

That's not stored anywhere.  At some places in the code `TeX-verbatim-p'
is called to check this or it is checked if the verbatim face is
present.
