My questions are for sideloaded books, not books bought on the Kobo store.

Does the plugin import highlights and annotations from a Kobo eink reader to Calibre? Is there anything it does better or differently than the Annotations plugin, or are the two comparable?
The plugin does not import annotations from the Kobo devices to calibre. It extracts them and displays them in a dialog. The function is comparable with the Annotations plugin. In fact, the Kobo support in the Annotations plugin was originally based on the code in this plugin.

How about exporting annotations and highlights from Calibre to a Kobo - is this possible?
No. I haven't had any real interest in extracting the annotations in such a way as they could be restored. I might revisit this when the calibre viewer gets better annotation support.

Finally, how about Vocabulary Builder (the list of words you looked up on a dictionary) - can that be synced, too?
Theoretically yes. They are stored in a database table or two. Extracting and restoring them shouldn't be to hard. But, sorry, it isn't something I am interested in doing.
