For (a), the only Ubuntu system I have access to also has LVM; do they
not even install the lvm tools?

For (b), I have no idea what you mean by "same LVM logical layout".  The
PV size, VG and LV names, etc. are all part of a particular device.
They don't have to match in any way a separate device (on the same or on
a different computer).
