They pay whoever owns the rights to the song. It could be the singer, it could be the composer, it could be the label. In this case, who knows. Maybe they paid the original band a fee for covering the song, bought Vocaloid software themselves and produced a cover of the song themselves (or paid someone specific to do so for them).

No, I don't expect to see other Vocaloids in this game. Notice how their attempts to corner "niche" markets ("Gangnam Style", "Epik Sirtaki", the Sentai Express songs) often do not result in repeat custom, i.e. they didn't go back to the same sources. While they did add "Gentleman", it's probably only due to the fact that "Gangnam Style" came along so late they had to add it as DLC (and it as returned as DLC for every game since) and if they hadn't added "Gangnam Style" as DLC but as a proper on-disc song in JD2014, "Gentleman" never would've made it.

Vocaloid is such a niche market within a niche market that I don't see any other Vocaloid songs making it. After all, "Llevan Polka" is basically the only Vocaloid song that's very well known outside of Vocaloid fandom.
