Primeira pergunta
Por que o unhboxing parece ignorar o modo vertical e por que o unvboxing parece ignorar o modo horizontal?
O MWE após as próximas duas fotos
- ambos entregam o texto da primeira pergunta
- e ilustra os efeitos de
\unhbox/\unhcopyno modo vertical e de\unvbox/\unvcopyno modo horizontal.
O texto da primeira pergunta também está nas próximas duas fotos. Eles são o resultado da compilação do MWE.

Segunda questão:
Suponha que um registrador de caixa \MyBoxcontenha a \vboxque por sua vez contém muitas linhas/muitas \hboxesde igual comprimento.
\boxO registro dessa caixa produz uma caixa vertical cujas linhas únicas não serão divididas nas páginas:
\newcount\tmpcnt
\newbox\MyBox
\setbox\MyBox=\vbox{%
\tmpcnt=0 %
\loop\advance\tmpcnt by 1 \hbox to 3cm{Line:\hfill\number\tmpcnt.}\ifnum\tmpcnt<100 \repeat
}%
\noindent
\box\MyBox
\bye
Ao \unvboxfazer esse registro de caixa, as linhas únicas serão divididas em páginas:
\newcount\tmpcnt
\newbox\MyBox
\setbox\MyBox=\vbox{%
\tmpcnt=0 %
\loop\advance\tmpcnt by 1 \hbox to 3cm{Line:\hfill\number\tmpcnt.}\ifnum\tmpcnt<100 \repeat
}%
\noindent
\nobreak\unvbox\MyBox
\bye
Como você pode conseguir \unvboxque essas linhas não sejam apenas divididas nas páginas, mas também alinhadas à direita? Como se você fizesse:
\newcount\tmpcnt
\tmpcnt=0 %
\noindent
\loop
\advance\tmpcnt by 1 %
\null\hfill\hbox to 3cm{Line:\hfill\number\tmpcnt.}\break
\ifnum\tmpcnt<100 \repeat
\par
\bye

\unhboxexpõe uma lista horizontal, então inicia um novo parágrafo e uma nova lista horizontal, assim como uma carta faria, o comum \leavevmode é apenas\def\leavevmode{\unhbox\voidb@x}
