Actually, training brings you more into the IIA realm of more endurance (vs IIB) - sitting on your butt all day long gives you more IIB than training (probably also does doing very low volume/very high intensity (tension) singles and stuff like that).
What's also interesting is that only the type II fibers actually hypertrophy, otherwise we'd see those muscular marathon runners with huge type I muscles.

I always use dumbbells... even used a 30 kg dumbbell. I put it between my legs, right under my sack. The dumbbell bar might smell afterwards if you're into that, but otherwise it's all good.

keep it simple. get massive SVJ with the heavy compounds / SVJ drills.. play the sport and the RVJ will eventually take care of itself. manufacturing the SVJ takes time but its a sure thing.
you are not going to think about the mechanics of the approach jump or plants (which you will probably screw yourself up anyway), if you are going for a layup or running after / defending somebody preparing for a block.. those are the best drills.. the live in-game, chasing something.. natural adrenalin fueled drills.
Yes ^^^
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on case) the form of the jump is related more with the structure and strengths/weaknesses of the individual... however I think some movement efficiency drills could be useful (trying different approaches/plants etc) just to see what's going on. That's not possible with maximal jumping.

I am personally locking my knees and even trying to actively hyperextending them (I know, sounds terrible) and also am doing the same thing with the hips (going for a posteriorly rotate pelvis at the top) - these two things help me really squeeze the VMOs and glutes, a thing that normally doesn't happen if I don't actively think about it. If I'm just doing "normal" reps these things don't occur. It's a pretty big difference for me (I can feel the VMOs and glutes do work doing this).
Obviously I'm not overdoing it or really exaggerating it to the point of injury, and I'm usually doing it with lower weights. You won't see me think about this doing 1RM stuff.

Do you purposedly not lock your knees at the end of the movement (back up)? What's up with that? It looks like you're so weak when you stand tall, at the knee joint.

I don't get the forefoot thing. I've been forefoot dominant my whole life and it seems to be a terrible idea for two foot jumping - I always end up overloading the quad to the point of complete failure or I end up going forward.
I've found out that if I try to stay more on the heels when I plant I can maintain a more vertical torso and go up instead of forward so... it's pretty much the reverse true for me.

It looks like a strictly quad&glute plant... the calves aren't really loaded and the hamstrings aren't either (the tibia is forwards => no calf load; the knee is bent => no hamstring load).
You also seem to have a pretty high center of mass in the run-up.

Why do you think doing very high volume burnouts would help? You'd be better served doing 400m sprints.
