Is that WoT just serving as like an A/B comparison, for now?
i.e., eventually the front page will be populated by the algo populating WoT?
(and assuming at that point /rss would then match the WoT ?)

Yep, just A/B. It'll probably go live on the front page by Feb and on the rss feed then too.

There's no way to increase the boost after submitting a post.
So is upvoting from another account is the only way to help get a post in the front page if the initial boost (and organic upvotes) is not sufficient?

Yes. In earlier versions of the site, posts could be boosted after the fact by any user (not just the OP), but no one was using it and it made the tipping UX more complicated.
In the future, I suspect variable boost will be removed in favor of a fixed cost for boost with a guarantee that it'll be seen.
