It has a 720mah lithium battery and it can either charge through its usb-c port or through the controller!

Yes it does!

It can create the same size VMUs, but you have access to multiple pages per game, so essentially you can click on a button and change to the next or previous page. It also can ID the game you're running and dedicate a bunch of pages to each game. And yes, it's fully compatible with all games.

Introducing the VMU Pro. The last VMU you'll ever need for your Dreamcast.

But it's not just for your Dreamcast. The VMU Pro can emulate your favourite 8-bit era handhelds and games consoles like the Game Boy Color, NES and Master System on a beautiful 16-bit color IPS TFT display.

It’s unlikely, the Sony pads are using EDR and the MCP2 only supports BLE

Which gamepad are you trying? You can see a list of the compatible gamepads on this page: www.8bitmods.wiki/xelQ-gamepad...
