(1) will I trigger a different snare sample depending on how lightly or how hard I hit the key which the snare is assigned to?

Yes.

(2) can you program performances with EZ Drummer or Superior drummer?

Both EZDrummer2 & SuperiorDrummer3 are each delivered as a standalone program
and as a plugin for use within a ‘host’ such as a DAW (Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Studio One, etc).
As you no doubt have seen from the product pages, videos and marketing,
both EZD2 & SD3 have Song Tracks & an ‘Edit Style’ function with which to alter grooves within the Song Track.
With these features, you are capable of personalizing the MIDI placed there, but not programming per se.

However, SuperiorDrummer3 also includes a piano roll right within the standalone program (and within the plugin) in which you can program your own grooves or edit existing grooves.
The standalone EZDrummer2 program has no piano roll function for programming but the plugin version will play grooves from its host/DAW wherein you could program your own grooves (depending upon the host/DAW).

Probably not.
Being a free version of their software,
I believe that Pro Tools First is limited to Avid plugins:

Please provide a few details.
Into what host are you loading EZDrummer?
What are your system specs? (OS, RAM)
What EZDrummer library do you have loaded?
Where is the MIDI playing from? (the browser tab, the Song track or from the host)
Cheers

“Sticks, mallets, regular and towel-damped samples available for select kits”

“From the tight and deep allround tone of the main ‘UK Pop’ preset to the intimate and dampened Beatles-esque ‘Tea Towels,’ the rowdy ‘Carnaby Street’ that hints of T-rex, or the tight and snappy breakbeat-inspired ‘Bristol Eyes,’ the UK Pop EZX covers a broad facet of the British pop wonder.”

See the attached screenshot of the EZD2 Tempo options.
The screenshot also shows how when dragged to the Song Track (or DAW),
the selected Tempo option is applied to the groove.

Notice how Tempo options have shortened or lengthened <u>the original 8-bar groove</u> into 4 bars (2X Tempo) and 16 bars (1/2 Tempo) in the Song Track.

Also attached is a screenshot from page 14 of the EZD2 Operation Manual,
describing the functions of the Tempo options. Enjoy.
