Correct.

No.

I understand you want topology to remain intact, as long as there is
at least 1 member up, but I'm not sure we can guarantee that. I think
if you set LACP to fast, it'll fail in max 3s, and you ensure STP
fails slower (i.e. don't use rapid pvst), you probably will just see
BPDU switch physical interface, instead of STP convergence.

You'd need something similar to microBFD on LAGs, where BFD PDU is
sent on each member, instead of an unspecified single member, but
afaik this does not exist.

So what you really need is L3/MPLS topology :/.
