Wow, you ask some really complex questions. Actually, the questions bring to light some problems I really had not noticed.
I need to do some of my own research into this before I respond. Meanwhile, perhaps Bob (TopRudder) and George (Mr Wizard) will also jump in. I do not mean to insinuate the two above are the only guys on this thread who can contribute - obviously there are many others who have similar expertise.
One comment though, just about all of the newer 13.5 and 15K air conditioners using the scroll compressor also have what is commonly refered to as "soft start" technology. This is extremely effective and even allowed me to lock in the compressor on my previous Coleman 15K A/C with voltages as low as 85 VAC with a 1,700 watt mechanical inverter (dynamotor). If your A/C is of a similar design you really do not need to go further.
BTW - welcome to the forum. If you are reading all of the pages, you are definately my new hero!
