If they're sticklers, they may not accept Prores out of Vocouder; the codecs are unofficial. Best inquire. If the answer is no, you'll either need access to a Mac or a Windows NLE/exporter with licensed Prores. Edius is one of the latter. Premiere too (I think), as of a few years ago. Somebody here can confirm, I'm sure. There are others as well.

No, any bit rate version of braw will suffice to produce a reasonable good quality Prores 422 program. And the bit rates are not comparable between the two, anyway. braw is much more efficient.

That depends again on filmhub. They want Prores 422 as the delivery format. But do they have requirements for the program footage? Typically, documentary work wouldn't, for the simple reason that archival material rarely meets current standards.
