Welcome 
before we answer most of those questions , would you mind sharing why you are asking the questions for physicists? it helps us.
also, in the future, it is helpful to also post the links to the relevant articles you are talking about
A. Z-theory:
https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0412021
this is my guess. it's good you pointed that out because that is one of the many, many unexplained references in the EG from 20 years ago
B. Arcbuilders
(where did you find the reference to it on the website?)
here's the only other mention of it i can find.

C. someone else might answer this

Quote:We present the evidence for the existence of the topological string analogue of M-theory, which we call Z-theory. The corners of Z-theory moduli space correspond to the Donaldson-Thomas theory, Kodaira-Spencer theory, Gromov-Witten theory, and Donaldson-Witten theory. We discuss the relations of Z-theory with Hitchin's gravities in six and seven dimensions, and make our own proposal, involving spinor generalization of Chern-Simons theory of three-forms. Based on the talk at Strings'04 in Paris.
