What browser and OS are you using? Do you get the same behaviour on all the
browsers you can try? When you say "absolute file links", do you mean that
you see the full local path of the video file?

Firstly, I haven't added the necessary file extension info, but the plan is
for embedded video files to work in the same way as embedded images:
Transcluding a tiddler containing a video would render an HTML5 video
player.
Secondly, the plan is to support external images/videos/attachments, which
are left on the server/filesystem and referenced through an <img> or
<video> tag. Such images/videos/attachments would only have their metadata
embedded in the TW file.

No, you should just be able to write HTML video tags in your wikitext.

Integrating video.js would be done by wrapping it into a plugin and adding
a TW5 widget that invokes it. There's several examples of plugins that wrap
external libraries in the TW5 repo (eg d3 and codemirror).

See answers above.

Classic plugins won't work in TW5.
The most flexible way to do things like this is to process your CSV files
into .tid files, and then build them into a TW file using the node.js
edition of TW5. It is my intention to directly support the import of CSV
data in the future.

It's great, questions like this really help build understanding.
