Your first question can be answered with a look at R32, Table 4-1. While a VEX motor is listed (actually a couple of them are), they happen to be the Mini-CIM and the 393. Because the 369 is not listed, it is not legal to use it in competition. However, nothing prevents you from coming up with a way to use an encoder with a 393.
I would assume that there is a way to program a VEX motor in Labview, but I don't know any Labview.
