Yes

If you take a soft telecine input, encode it directly to rawvideo or
lossless output, you can confirm this. 
The output is 29.97 (interlaced content) .

No. 

Pattern looks correct, but unless you are doing something differently , your
timescale is not correct

When input is vob, mpeg2-ps or mpeg-es using soft telecine in my test, using
telecine=pattern=5 the output frame rate is 74.925 as expected  (2.5 * 29.97
= 74.925). This mean RF flags are used, 29.97i output from decoder. Since
its 74.925fps, the scale in your diagram for 1/6s is wrong for
telecine=pattern=5 


Both ffplay and mpv look like they ignore the repeat field flags, the
preview is progressive 23.976p
