It is as you suspected. The vacuum has very low conduction of heat and sound and is preserved by the small ‘beads’, if not, the two panes would simply be sucked onto each other. What do you mean by emissitvity?
Low-e glass lets less IR through it, meaning less solar gain in the summer and less heat loss in the winter which has big energy savings. It’s very common in double glazed windows, at least in the US.
I’ve never heard of vacuum glass, but I imagine they put an additional pane on the window and then suck the air out, thus creating a double pane?
If so, a really awesome way to preserve the look of old windows. I wish I’d had that option at my old house.
Is the new glass low-emissitvity?

Heat transfer. I suppose these would be “low-e” because of the vacuum, sort of like a thermos.
