To do scanner info/scanner discovery, you'll have to use those same extension points, but potentially you will have to modify your code so that things are executed remotely. I have not fully deciphered how to get this working yet myself... there are some problems at the moment with the Remote XL C/C++ Toolchain that I've defined at the moment in this regard. Include paths and symbols defined directly in the toolchain definition will be picked up already however. I would suggest for starters you look at the org.eclipse.ptp.rdt.managedbuilder.xlc.ui plugin that I checked in recently to see how I am doing the Remote XL C/C++ Toolchain.
Creating a new builder should not be a problem. You can use the existing extension points to contribute new items to the RDT wizard. The only catch right now is that in order to filter out some of the local items (which don't work on remote projects), we have our wizard checking the IDs of the items and filtering out anything that doesn't come from PTP. This is a temporary situation which we intend to address in PTP 3.0... we can have a discussion as to what the best method would be for allowing proper filtering.
As far as your wizard extensions, it's hard for me to say if these will "just work" without knowing how you contribute them to the new project wizard. Is it an entirely new wizard, one that extends the old one, or one that contrbutes to the org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.ui.newWizardPages extension point?
We don't really do anything with respect to debugging at this time. There is a remote debugger engine launcher (uses RSE to launch GDB server) available with CDT that you might want to look at.
