Many of your i-Pilot performance questions, particularly those relating to the Spot Lock and Track Record features, are addressed by the test data on my website:

Introduction to MinnKota's i-Pilot

Regarding some of your other questions:

The trolling motor must be deployed to record a track. Deploying the motor (I'm talking specifically about Terrova) powers the i-Pilot GPS receiver, which is necessary to record a track. I'm not sure how PowerDrive V2 motors work in this capacity, but it's clear to me that the i-Pilot was designed with Terrova in mind.
