Is the teleconverter an option that can be utilized to bring the effective focal length to 560mm, or is it fixed in place, bringing what would have otherwise been a roughly 285mm lenses up to an effective 400mm?
It will be a selectable option letting you change between 400mm and 560mm effective focal lengths. This is similar to their AF-S NIKKOR 180-400mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR lens that had a built-in 1.4x teleconverter as well.

Can a drop-in solar filter be used on the 400mm ...
Can a drop-in solar filter be used on the 400mm f2.8? I'm curious for shooting the annular eclipse.
It cannot. The drop in filter in the Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S Lens is in the back of the lens. A solar filter must be placed in the front of the lens. If you only place the solar filter in the back, the sun will heat up the lens and it can melt the aperture blades. You would need a solar filter made for telescopes that goes in the front of the lens. I don't have the exact measurement of the diameter of this lens, but once you measure the diameter, there are telescope solar filters that you can place in the front like this one: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1348156-REG
Look in the bottom of the Overview tab and it will list what lens diameter it will fit. You can also measure the diameter of the lens hood and place it over the lens hood.

How does this lens compare sharpness and IQ wise with Nikon 500mm F/5.6 PF ED VR + FTZ II on Nikon Z8 and Nikon Z9 bodies?
Sharpness and image quality because of the optics between the Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S Lens and the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR Lens are the same. However, using a Nikon Z lens on a Z camera will always be sharper than using an F-mount lens with an adapter. This is because the rear element on Z mount lenses is designed to be closer to the camera sensor. Also, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S Lens has the advantage of a wider max aperture.
