A- Shall we do the HA for vcmp hosts also or only for the vcmp guests respectively

HA will be between the two VCMP Guests only.

B- What config should be prepared in advance on the other standby appliance to sync the config with active appliance

the host name of each device should be unique to establish HA cluster.
Creat HA VLAN on both devices.
For config Sync , choose the Self-IP assigned to the HA VLAN from ( Device Management > Devices > Device-name > Device Connectivity > configsync )
For Failover monitoring , use both HA Self-IP and for redundancy also use management IP address from ( Device Connectivity > Failover )

C- What config will be sync with the standby appliance (example certificate chain etc) from the active appliance

LTM ( including VS , Pools , iruels ,profiles , and Certificates ), APM , GTM Config will be Synced by default once HA is configured.
for ASM you need to choose the Device Group in the synchronization tab under security advanced settings.
