Last I checked? No, no it does not.

I think I've figured out how to do #1 correctly using On Hit helper code I found already in the PRC. Right now I've got it working so that Energy Drain and whatever other On Hit properties were already on the creature weapon are all working at once--pretty cool.
I've also figured out how to get #2 working, although I'm rather doubtful that it should actually work that way.
One problem I found is that Energy Drain doesn't stack with itself: if you hit someone with it, it drains a level. If you hit them with it again, they are still drained of only a single level instead of a total of two levels. I assume this is not the way it should work?
I haven't actually tried it yet, but looking at the code, it looks like the PRC implements Energy Drain as a spell-like ability that executes a touch attack when activated. It probably would be possible to add an On Hit: Cast Spell property to one or more of the creature weapons so that Energy Drain would fire during normal unarmed combat, but it's not clear to me from the description you typed whether that should happen.
As far as I can tell, that has been gone for a while (since before any of my changes). Do you still see it with recent versions of NWN and PRC?
No idea. Not all of my Shifter changes apply to Soul Eater yet, although many of them do. Maybe I'll get a chance to look at it. I mostly fix/improve classes as I play them, and most--including Soul Eater--I've not tried yet.
Do you have an online reference (I haven't even looked yet) or can someone else chime in who knows more about it?
Energy Drain (Su): A soul eater gains the ability to drain energy, bestowing negative levels upon its victims. Beginning at 1st level, the touch of a soul eater bestows one negative level on it's target. At 7th level, the soul eater bestows two negative levels with a touch.
I'll check the handbooks for requirements of lich template and alter the script. If it requires evil alignment, i'll change the script so that neutral Dread Necro could also get this template.
Lich (MM) According to custserv [Incident: 070501-000021](Big Bear), you do NOT become a Lich at 20th level. If you went and became a Necropolitan, then you need to pay for a True Resurection after you have enough XP to become 20th. Its worth it at that level though.
