Should I deduce lockstep means SMP and split mode two processors running in UP
mode?

There is two "internal" in a row.

In the example below node "mcu_r5f1" has a "mboxes" property despite being in lockstep mode. I
haven't delved in the code yet, perharps I'll find an answer in there.

What is ATCM and why would one want to enable the feature?

Same here, there is no way to tell what BTCM is.

loczrama: Location Zero Ram Address? Can both core show up at the address 0x0?
In the example below both cores have the same setting for atcm, btcm and
loczrama.

Is the behaviour the same whether operating in locksetup mode and split mode?
