I assume voltage regulator would be handled by a continuous UPS  as stated
in number 1 ...or are you  referring to a separate device to handle this ?

Is there any reason why you couldn't take a high quality UPS ...like
APC....and internally disconnect all outlets except the first two outlets
in order to increase per outlet suppression ?..or does EACH outlet have
it's own suppression resistor.

For automatic startup a < battery start > generator is required...have you
found a reliable third party device that will sense the voltage drop and
start the generator ? ....of course with a UPS in the circuit start up
speed isn't important.
