I guess (E) could be added, we already do this for inline source code,
but no one bothered implementing it.

This is consistent with 1., with the (E) feature.

This is something entirely different. #+BEGIN_EXPORT latex ...
#+END_EXPORT latex, in Org lingo, is not LaTeX #code, but raw text for
an export back-end called "latex". There is no guarantee export back-end
"latex" correspond to real LaTeX code.

You cannot expect the same behavior for apples and oranges, can you?

A missing feature is still not a bug, i.e., feature requests are not bug
reports.

I'm not sure what you mean by "folded". You can see fontification and
you can edit #+begin_export latex blocks with <C-c '>.

There are not fontified in the Org buffer, but Org only fontifies source
blocks.

There may not be something to preview in the first place. More
precisely, they shouldn't contain something that can be previewed. For
that, you can use environments, e.g.
\begin{something}...\end{something}.
