Will the Eurostar connection from St. Pancras employ only overhead wire
as well as the French signalling system for high-speed trains, the start
of which you currently find around Ashford International?

Yes, it does. Currently, both TVM signalling and OCS start just east of
Fawkham Junction, somewhat to the north of Ashford.

Also - doesn't the TVM & OCS start at the London Tunnel portal at Kings
Cross, so that theoretically any UK train can use St Pancras station throat
and any platform? IIRC the last few km of signalling is more traditional at
the Paris end too?
