(Sorry for the long delay!) I think that defining a paragraph style for Latex is the right answer to avoid indentation. In case you haven't yet done that, here's a hack: use `(elem #:style "noindent")` as the first element of of the paragraph. That works because it generates `\noindent` in the output.
To get the section number to use for an exercise number, generate a `delayed-element` and in the resolver callback use `part-collected-info` to extract the number assigned to the enclosing part.
