Hi Dan, To address your questions:
1) The insertion tag functionality is a feature of AdWords and is independent of the API and should work correctly for those ads. 2) The reports will include impression and click data from those ad types. I don't believe there is any way to exclude these ad types in the reports. If you want their data separately, it may be best to move them into separate campaigns/ad groups that you can filter on when processing the report data.
