If you run EZdrummer 2, you can enable “Show Web Shop MIDI” in the Search tab, and select the Songwriters Pack in the tags. Doing so let’s you preview the content of that MIDI pack. You can narrow your search even further by checking more filters. Selecting Type > Fill will list all fills in Songwriters Pack, for example.

You can drag your custom made drum MIDI to Tap2Find and search for similar beats. If you find anything that sounds similar, you can replace either the entire custom MIDI block, or just parts of it (just the hi-hat for example).

Can EZkeys output MIDI in realtime to your DAW? So one can preview on a VSTi synth for example while building, not after having exported the MIDI data to a MIDI track in the DAW?

Yes

EZkeys can control any virtual instrument that uses MIDI in, a bass instrument for example. Enable MIDI out in EZkeys and route that MIDI (in your DAW) to your bass instrument. Drag some bass MIDI to EZkeys time line, and then you can edit the chords etc.
Note that EZkeys is made for doing piano MIDI so it may not always work as you intend. EZkeys can for example add multiple notes at the same time, which may not be wanted with the bass.

Another way to do it is to simply drag the bass MIDI to EZkeys and write the bass line using EZkeys sounds. When you are happy with it, drag the MIDI to your bass track in your DAW.

This is experimental, but it should work in some cases!
