How about EUREX from Tenfore ? Or any of the other not supported
datafeeds for wich developers have made custom programs so TS2000
can work with them ?

It's very good to see many people working on scripts with the
WL comunity but unfortunatly no developers working on for instance
a DDE feed program :-(

Same here. WLD can not do that and no plans to implement
that shortly.

For strategies it would not be a good idea. It would get you in
and out of a trade multiple times on the same bar if your signal 
is very close to the signal level. Real time results would differ
a lot from backtested results in those cases because costs and
slippage would be completely different.

WL indeed doesn't distinguish between signals and indicators.
You place it all in one script wich is probably why it is not
possible to update only the indicators in real time. It has it's
advantages, because you only need to write a scrip all in 1 piece
and add some plots but the disadvantage you discribe above is
indeed for real time traders very anoying (and not workable for
me actualy)
