  You don't need the DNAT rule, only the TPROXY one. You can also
specify a destination IP to TPROXY with --on-ip, if you omit that
argument it will use the address of the interface the packet came in.

  Yes, you have to set the RECVORIGADDRS socket option with setsockopt()
in order to receive the original address with recvmsg().

  You got the msg setup right, but do not process the received msg
appropriately. Read below.

  No, it's in msgh.msg_iov.iov_base (buffer in your case).

  No, it's in CMSG_DATA(cmsg).

  Yes. But please take a look at the example code, redirect-udp-recv.c
is _exactly_ you're looking for.
