Hi Loris,
Yes, tube pigment should be ok too. I didn't realize the instruction is in
the instruction sheets (maybe it is new). I was just suspecting that you
might have used the proportion for liquid acrylic when using tube pigment,
but it looks like that was not the case; so I think this part is fine.

Yes, but gelatin has its own property. It can be used as glue and things
stick to it. I think hardened gelatin might be ok, but the easiest is to try
it with the back side of the RC paper first.

It sounds like so. Unfortunately this is hard to describe in words. Your
foam roller should not contain emulsion that is so liquid or lamp. It should
be just a very thin layer that touch the paper and coat a VERY thin coat on
it.

Actually for trying/testing purposes the back side of RC paper works fine.
You must have lots of those lying around. You can use the bakc side of
used/unwanted prints for that.
