About your First Question

We were not sure to which RS material type you are referring - Xpresso based RS material or the RS node material.

Here are informations for both:

Node API Python examples, mostly focusing on material nodes: https://github.com/PluginCafe/cinema4d_py_sdk_extended/tree/master/scripts/05_modules/node

Example for a general pattern for writing an "material converter", here at the example of mapping material models in the RS Xpresso system to the standard material model space.
https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/14753/script-that-converts-redshift-materials-back-to-c4d-standard-ones/20

Note: In 2024 Redshift renamed all attributes in its legacy material type RS C4D Shader, with the result that the
MAPPINGS data defined in the script is incorrect now. While one can easily update the mappings, many ports are just named Color now. You either have to use IDs in the meantime or wait for the update which fixes this port naming issue.
