Which - INFORM, or RESPONSE?

The library deals with the RESPONSE acknowledgement automatically.
It's not passed back to the agent proper.

The INFORM request is received and processed by snmptrapd
(or equivalent trap receiver) - not the agent.

Sorry - it's the start of the academic year here, so you'll
get very quick responses at best from me.
Try reading up on "snmptrapd" - man pages, tutorial pages etc.
That should do what you want.

No.
mib2c is dealing with code for the agent, not snmptrapd.

Yes - please read the snmpd.conf documentation and FAQ entries
relating to sending traps.
