with 0.99.3 the transport buttons respond only to MIDI Machine Control (a standard for controlling various “tape-like” devices) or MIDI Song Position Pointer messages (a standard for controlling “sequencers”). you cannot bind arbitrary controllers to them. this has been changed in ardour 2.0.

as for the plugin issue, i haven’t ever seen or heard of this before. you should be able to display the plugin editor, ctrl-middle-click on the plugin parameter control and bind a MIDI controller to it, just as for the main gain faders.
