As mentioned in my first post, InDesign does not have table variables
(unfortunately).
The table title can be a regular paragraph style that runs above the table and
is kept with the table, so not having a “table title row” doesn’t really have
an impact either way. The table styles can have chapter-based numbering setup
just like Frame.
Table styles can—and should—control table rules; cell styles are for
_overrides_ to the default table style settings. Most table features have been
the same since CS3.

FM enables you to add variables to running table titles - e.g., ?Continued?
or ?page x of y,? a feature that doesn?t exist in InDesign. If you bang around
on the web you?ll find discussions of workarounds in ID, but they?re all a bit
of a hassle. I once worked on a publication that contained two tables that ran
300+ pages. The ?page x of y? feature was definitely useful.
ID doesn?t distinguish between a table title row and heading rows.
It?s been awhile, so I?ll probably get this about half wrong, but I seem to
recall that table rules are built into the cell styles. This has caused me some
problems in the past. Sorry to be so vague, but that?s as much of it as I
remember.
