Kailh BOX Master V2 Series Arctic Fox Custom Mechanical Switch

Is this a clickbar or jacket switch? Also, is it going to follow the same design that expels liquids over time so nobody can lube them?

Definitely a click bar. I'm about 95% sure that "expels liquids" thing is a myth, at least when it comes to lube. Yes, some might dribble out over time, but it will generally stay where you put it. The Gateron Cap has a similar vent that also lets a little lube out over time, but the switches don't dry out or anything.

So according to Kailh's twitter, the switches are going to be a very similar design to a box white, but I personally can't tell whether they'll work with lube (I don't know much about what specifically makes box switches really difficult to lube, so I can' t tell if the specific mechanism they have will make it impossible to lube, would appreciate another opinion). It will be a clickbar switch and even though there's no comparative sound test, they do have a soundtest of the switches in a vacuum. Annoying that they don't show us what a white sounds like next to it, but the soundtest is at least a bit useful.

How do you do per-key RGB lighting on a Shift V2?

I saw the online configurator that lets you do this on the Shift V1, where it spits out a compiled firmware file to flash. The V2 doesn't seem to have this function in the Windows configurator, though. I can't imagine the answer here is "you're going to have to manually write the hex for every key in QMK, compile it, and flash that".
