In an attempt to answer everything briefly...
Steam - no. It really doesn't behave anything like IC engines so really can't be simulated in this game well.
U engines - Should be available later than flat, V and straight engines. They were never really anything more than an easy solution to quickly fill a need for a bigger engine. Rather than designing an entire new engine just trap two existing ones together. It's not as good, but it's cheaper.
Obviously this means that you have to make an inline engine before you can bolt two of them together into a U.
The model T being a 4 - there were a number of 4s before it too. The first that I'm aware of is the first car to carry the Mercedes name, the Mercedes 35up which was released in 1901 but it was VERY advanced for its time.
Starting availability - I do intend to play with these but there's only so much I can do. From what I can gather easy starts with 10 skill and normal and hard both start with 0.
