I'm not sure what it is you talking about. Back testing an indicator using Strategy Tester is simple to do. Calling an indicator from an EA is possible with iCustom(). SetIndexBuffer is not used in EAs or scripts, only in indicators. All of topics are covered in the documentation.

You can.
Put all the indicators on the chart you want.
Now save as tester.tpl

A shortcut would be to save your last run of the EA. First Delete all Objects then save as tester.tpl


You will however have to manually change the indicator settings to match your EA.
