Answer 1

Yes, this should work.
Are you seeing an error message or exception in the output window?
I can use the following code in a T4:
<## output extension=".txt" #>
<## assembly name="System.Data" #>
<## assembly name="System.Core.dll" #>
<## assembly name="System.Xml" #>
<## assembly name="Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo" #>
<## assembly name="Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo" #>
<## assembly name="Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc" #>
<## import namespace="System.IO" #>
<## import namespace="System.Linq" #>
<## import namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" #>
<## import namespace="Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo" #>
<## import namespace="Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common" #>
<#
var server = new Server(".\\SQLEXPRESS");
var db = server.Databases["moviereviews"];
foreach(var property in db.GetType()
.GetProperties()
.Where(p=>p.PropertyType == typeof(string)))
{
#>
<#= property.Name #> : <#= property.GetValue(db, null) #>
<#
}
#>
and it gives me:
Name : moviereviews
Collation : SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

DefaultFileGroup : PRIMARY
