Does it include default maximize, minimize, and close buttons?:

Is it possible to embed the native three main items into the top right corner? Or use a Win32 title bar (which would mean a separate menu bar).

Is is possible to use the Windows title bar, but it looks awful for this UI.

There are a number of other apps that added custom icons for this (Affinity, Spotify, etc).

Is it possible to embed the native three main items into the top right corner? Or use a Win32 title bar (which would mean a separate menu bar).

VectorStyler uses an internal framework (written in C++, with some extensions), originally for MacOS, with a thin system dependency layer, and ported with that to Windows.
