I suppose that is all possible, but friction-generated flames will not be as powerful or intense as resonance-created flames. It'd be like comparing Ace's Mera Mera no Mi to Sanji's Diable Jambe. So you should keep that in mind. And well, yeah, a higher degree of power would be Shinuchi; it taps into the innermost essence of the soul and manifests it. It's Hakuda's approach to Bankai, in other words, which is why I've classified it as Bankai's predecessor.

Learning swordsmanship doesn't help you learn how to disarm swords, that'd be silly. Even swordsman of the old Japanese days learned Jujutsu in order to disarm their opponents while being unarmed. Having a basic understanding of Zanjutsu isn't a bad thing, so it can be used to identify an opponent's skills, but it wouldn't have any role in Kousa's repertoire if he doesn't use a Zanpakuto and communicate it with it to draw power.
