Either is fine. It forces glibc to use the old-style kernel
interfaces for threading, so it to uses linuxthreads instead of NPTL.

Yes. The other two realtime threads are the JACK watchdog timer and
the Linuxthreads manager thread.

You should probably set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL consistently for all clients,
but the `chrt' should not be necessary. JACK will set all the client
process thread priorities to 89 (one less than 90), IIRC. You don't
want to mess with the other ecasound threads. They'll just interfere.
