Not sure if you saw these mockups William made.

While I like them in general they do mix settings from object/world a bit.
as far as I know this is all thats been done so far towards the BGE ui.

Excuse the brief answers...
1) don't have a strong opinion as to where these settings should go,
G.main, should be replaced by CTX_data_main(C))
1.b) no
2) no, not afaik.

re: data being readonly, there is a readonly option in RNA
RNA_def_property_clear_flag(prop, PROP_EDITABLE);
