You don't need any of that. All you need is to loop the strap around 1
or 2 treble side frets.

done.
Should never sit guitar-style, ergonomically bad. Pat O'Brien advocated
the above, with your axe high up under the chin, which gives a really
good right hand angle.

Has anyone tried this method to keep the lute from slipping on your
leg? I know may of you use a strap and/or the RH pinky to keep the lute
in place, but I have found it absolutely necessary, when sitting
guitar-style, to have something between the lute and my thigh or it
will definitely slip forward. A piece of rubber or leather does the
trick fine, but the stabilizer idea is interesting. I actually had one
over here but it didn't stay on my lute, apparently there is a more
"permanent" solution that would probably affect the finish I suspect.
