Not sure why you to get the playlist pointer from a video filter, but that's 
perhaps not the best way to achieve what you want.

Notably there is a clear need to pass the current input item to the outputs 
and filters. But the hypothetical method to address that requirement ought to 
not involve the playlist in any way, if only because the playlist is not even 
necessarily present.

Not currently.

No, and there should not be IMNSHO.
