That's the classic trigger shifter. Will not work with S3X
as the cable pull is different. The shifters for the S3X are bar end Sturmey Archer or thumbie Sturmey Archer
Either one can be removed from it's mount and mounted on your downtube boss.

No. The driver has no pawls on it like the NIG hubs. It is splined to the ring gear on the outside, and the clutch on the inside. There is a neutral position between 1st and second which you will find if the shifter is not accurately adjusted, but that is due to the sliding key fitting between the sun gears, not because of the clutch slipping between the ring gear and the planet carrier as in the old 3 speed design.
If you haven't seen it, here's a look at the S3X internals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJmUds2YQ74

I'm getting the impression that I'd have to build the wheel myself if I were to get the S3X.

Not necessarily ..
there are Distributors that will build wheels , combining the parts they carry. 2nd lowest parts cost, other than the manufacturers them selves
then they ship the assembled wheel to the Retailer. check with your favorite LBS.
