Almost, because some of the things you try to use are not implemented 
until the new version 1.2.0 which I had uploaded to the TER just a few 
minutes ago. ;-)

Here is a working config:
array (
	'method' => 'add',
	'path' => 'sheets/advanced/ROOT/el',
	'type' => 'fields',
	'source' => 'field',
	'source_config' => array (
		'table'     => 'tt_content',
		'db_field'     => 'pi_flexform',
		'path'         => 'advanced/lDEF',
		'xml_field' => 'totalTabs',
	),

	'field_config'    => array(
		array (
			'name'  => 'tab_###FINDEX###_title',
			'label' => 'Tab[###FINDEX###] Title',
			'config'=> array (
				'type' => 'input'
			),
		),
		array (
			'name'  => 'tab_###FINDEX###_title_b',
			'label' => 'Tab[###FINDEX###] Title B',
			'config'=> array (
				'type' => 'input'
			),
		)
	),
),

I also have updated the manual and added the information about the markers.

That doesn't matter because new elements will be added to the end of the 
fieldlist.

See the updated manual in the sections field_config and sheet_config

Currently not but I thought about it some time. I'm not sure how this 
can be achieved in a nice and usable way.

I hope that helps!?


Greets,
Thomas
