Yes, there are individual memory sticks designed for Ryzen processors.

These memory kits tailored for Ryzen processors do appear available, such as the Trident Z NEO series. However, whether they're worthwhile remains a matter of debate. ^^^^^
There aren't any unique sticks for Ryzen. Most DDR4 RAM outside laptops should fit. Whether it meets the speed rating depends on other factors.
You might use single channel memory for simplicity and cost efficiency. It reduces complexity in design while still meeting basic storage needs.
As you've said any "should" work, and whether it'll run at its rated speed is hit and miss at best. Apparently these things (optimised kits) exist but if anyone can enlighten me to the point or difference between this and the "non-optimised" counterparts I'd be grateful
Yes, some RAM sticks are designed specifically for Ryzen processors. Check manufacturer compatibility lists or use compatible options for optimal performance.
B performs well but any setup will suffice The IMC is sufficient for Zen 2
