I have been preparing a few changes on scratch/package-vc-fixes, I
believe that the issues you mention have been resolved there.

There is no explicit way to do this right now, besides switching to a
different branch after checking out the repository.
The only other thing you can do is provide a package specification, as
documented in `package-vc-selected-packages'. That has a :branch
property.
