Answer 1

What do you mean by "hybrid" Metro style apps and C++ only?

Any C++ GUI relies on some sort of library code.  The options for Metro style apps are Xaml or DirectX. 

Alternately, you can use C++ for your logic layer and expose it as WinRT components to a UI written in other languages (.Net/Xaml or JavaScript/Html).

Is this project not sufficient?

It's not heavy on HTML5 and CSS3 but it does illustrate how to interact between JScript and C++.  After that you can do whatever advanced stuff with HTML5 or CSS3.
