1. When using a PLG board inside another synth (like the S30) the
patches are called up like native pacthes and can use onboard FX
processing

2. I don't think differences in the final sound are that noticebale
based on the host (S30 vs. AN200) other than available FX processing.

3. No you cannot control all main parameters via MIDI and the S30
controls. If you look at page 49 of the PLG150-AN manual (Control
Matrix and Free EG Parameter List) you will see many parameters cannot
be controlled via MIDI. Not accessible: VCO waveform and pitch, LFO
waveform, sync mode, FM source, FM algorithm, filter type, filter
tracking. You can get at all the EGs, filter cutoff and resonance, PWM
and FM depth, mixer levels, LFO speeds, poratamento time.
