I think it's ok. The epson backend checks for "usb vendor product" and
calls sanei_usb_attach_matching_devices if it find such a line.
Otherwise it checks for "usb" and calls attach for the device name. If
it's not "usb", it calls sanei_config_attach_matching_devices(line,
attach_one);

I just copied the address from AUTHORS, I hope it's still valid.

None :-) Or to be exact, indent -gnu, but that's the default.

There are some more tips in doc/backend-writing.txt. Even if most of
them won't be importatnt for you, some may give some hints.

cd doc/, edit sane-fujitsu.man, run make ; make install, check the
result :-) If you want to understand what you are doing, read man 7 man.
