It does do DVB-T2 however because the frequencies are not generally broadcast in the NIT table along with DVB-T muxes you'll need to manually add them. I believe they don't include them as it's thought that including them could cause issues for older non DVB-T2 equipment. Most TVs find them because they scan all frequencies and Tvheadend doesn't do that (by default).

I'm assuming you mean the pre-defined mux list, I don't bother with those as they're mostly out of date (for my area at least).

I'm pretty sure when you manually add a mux you should be able to set the delivery system, even 3.9 had the option..

>You are right about the NITs - each mux broadcasts a NIT which should identify the other frequencies available in the area, but it seems to be done on a regional basis, not per transmitter so they are effectively useless. Mine kept trying to tune to a transmitter I couldn't see.

True on both (in bold) counts, I have an 8 port and a 5 port booster/splitter for two aerials, one pointed at Waltham and the other Sutton Coldfield, I only use the one pointed at Sutton because Waltham isn't very reliable at my location (border between west and east midlands).
