1. How's the best way to germinate temperate pinguicula?

Cold temperate pings need stratification in order to germinate well. I put
mine on a damp coffee filter, sans coffee, roll it up and place in a ziplock
bag. This goes in the fridge for 6 weeks. Then just sprinkle the seed on the
surface of a small pot filled with peat and place under growlights in a warm
area (65-80f). Keep the pot covered with a baggy to maintain high humidity.
The seed should germinate within a month.

If you have it handy, mist the pot surface with a fungicide to ward off
fungus.
