Not if you mount the LD11 in a single enclosure above the fitting in the
loft space. LD11 is only an LD10 with updated firmware in the guts,
physically they are identical and there is no difference in the wiring.

Yes! One press to start it up (starts from 0%) then when you release it
and press again either starts to dim or brighten based on the last
event. i.e. if it was getting brighter and you release the switch, press
again and it starts to dim.

It does require a neutral, but then so does a light to work, so it's
there already you just have to suss how to wire it up.
