No. JACK will call your timebase callback at the right time.

that is up to you. it could be MTC, some other form of timecode, a
wallclock, NTP or whatever you want. keep in mind that JACK does not
support varispeed (a decision made long ago to avoid burdening every
JACK-transport app with very difficult implementation issues).

no, if your client elects to be time master then it is responsible for
updating the time every process cycle.

JACK will create a thread for you, you just supply the callback. The
callback will be called from the JACK-created thread, so you need to be
aware of this.
