Tricky. I do not use netrw a lot, so there might be easier ways. Dr.
Chip may correct me, if I am saying something wrong.
I think the directory displayed is always in NETRW_HISTDIR_0. So I
would do basically something like this:
If the filetype is netrw, Read in the whole buffer into a list. Then
filter all rows by lines that start with ^" and at last prepend
NETRW_HISTDIR_0 to each row, excep maybe ../
(see help getline(), filter(), help map(), etc.)

Probably it is the alternate buffer #

Use :match

Not sure. Look at the window and buffer functions (see :h
function-list)

Also take a look at :h eval.txt. All the stuff for writing scripts is
in there.
