My understanding of sourcetimestamp is the same as yours, it is the time from the vehicle. At this time, my understanding is that you cannot get the realtime geolocation. there are non-technical issues with respect to that. what others have done is used the traffic speed estimations to help predict bus locations.

I am not aware of a sampling frequency, but on some areas it's once per second, but to my knowledge, it is not a requirement.
