What exactly do you mean by "support 16bit natively"? Even the built-in VDI TOS-VDI in the Falcon works in 16-bit modes.
The only tricky thing is the pixel format detection. What kind of functionality are you talking about?

Again, I don't quite get the question. NVDI works in 16-bit modes (and 24/32-bit modes on certain graphics cards), the built-in VDI in TOS 4 works in 15/16-bit modes, fVDI works in 8bpp, 16bpp, 24bpp and 32bpp depending on driver/hardware, oVDI (which was never finished unfortunately) most likely work in >=15bpp modes as well.

What kind of API is it you're talking about?
