Need help with a custom USB-C device

Hi,

I am trying to develop a custom USB-C based sensor accessory device for phones and tablets. 

Overview : 

  1. 1 x USB-C male plug that will directly connect to a tablet, the accessory device will get power from the tablet, and a STM32F411 will send connected sensor data via USB 2.0 lines.
  2. 1 x USB-C receptacle, that will be used to charge the tablet (with PD negotiations, up to 100W) when a PD charger is connected to it. It will also send the sensor data while it is charging the tablet. 
  3. For USB-C PD negotiations I need a standalone controller that doesn't require any firmware.  

I did some research and learned that I must implement a DRP to do this and I learned about STUSB1602.

Question: 

  1. For the male USB-C plug the CC1, and  CC2 lines are CC and VCON can I connect the CC and VCON to the CC1 and CC2 lines?
  2. Do I need the dead battery feature for my application?
  3. Can up to 100W PD be achieved using only CC1 and CC2? 

My concept drawing is attached and I need help from the community to ensure that it will work or not.
