Aggie, Easter and all that.
The real action starts here to get into the full developers menu:

Now I haven't done it with a standard infotainment system but I'm sure you can put that in the developers mode. There was a time when you could get into the full developers mode but they locked you out with Mib2. Those instructions enable you to fully unlock the developers menu with
Obdeleven, saying that, that's how I do my semi map updates on the Navigation Plus without Mapcare following what I placed on the Leon map thread. The
Obdeleven video is at variance with how you do it. I do keep the developers mode enabled rather than turning it back off again.
Now the software update on your menu above is the firmware update for infotainment system, you can ignore that one since I'm sure there is not an update. 3 is the FEC, those are the locked down aspects of the car that VCDS can't touch only VAG factory linked ODIS system at the dealership. If you Google VAG and FEC and SWaP that's what that is. An example is that the Mapcare is locked by a FEC code. So you know you haven't got Mapcare since it doesn't have the FEC for that. You cant give yourself that code since you havent got the Vag security system etc. The FEC codes listed are the extras over and above what you can touch with VCDS.
Plenty of talk of FECs in here

Basically people run into FECs when they try to fit a MIB2 where a MIB1 was installed, they pay for component protection to be taken off then find they need navigation added back on again, that's a FEC and a payment and the use of ODIS by a dealer if they will do it.
On the other questions take a look at this

Anything that says Mib2 and Green menu on the linked videos. I believe HMI is a skin based on that video... but messing about in the Green Engineering Menu (GEM as its sometimes called) is dangerous, as said, you have to enable the developers mode to get at this... the link I gave at the top - only the
OBDEleven of consumer programmers allows you to enable developers mode on a Mib2 (unless that's changed now). It's also a bit weird about taking the command... takes a time to take effect and I assume that the standard system can be enabled the same.
I think playing with the green menu was dangerous in Mib1 but in Mib2 you can't save anything... the settings atleast... but then it still may be dangerous and should be treated with care. Pass on ITR at the minute. You can do a screen save to SD card which is how people document the infotainment green screen via the green menu of saving it.
My Navigation Plus semi map update is where I use the developers menu to read in the map file update files to the SSD via the SWDL menu. Basically the software import.

Saying that, that's my main interest in the developers menu is to do the semi udate for the Navigation plus unit via the SWDL menu, that which I've done twice now

(she speaks more clearly now, gives me more warning at turns, updates the 3D art so I see new buildings and structures, warns of approaching a toll booth, Poi's etc... but not the roads... they are locked down). I tripped over the fact that Mapcare protects the road part of the update but not the rest as far as Navigation Plus is concerned. People who have bought MIB2 retrofits use SWDL to update the maps, but then they dont have Mapcare - that's how I got into the developers menu to see what I could do. Without Mapcare you can upgrade and downgrade all parts seperately via the developers menu on the plus navigation except the map file part which is locked down as far as updating. If you update that it locks you out of navigation till you restore the file that the car was shipped with. I was hoping the backdoor would be less fussy.
I think generally if you haven't got a Navigation Plus unit and there isn't a firmware update then there is no point in going into the service and developers menu except for looking around for interest.
