Is there an easy way to get the parameters passed to each template (which I can enumerate with query&prop=templates)? At present I have a dumb state machine that counts curly braces, but I wonder if there is an API call that will provide me with the wikitext of each parameter (keyed by index and/or parameter name).

No.

No.
The closest you can come is to use action=parse&generatexml=1, which will give you a version of the wikitext with XML tags delimiting various bits including template/parser function calls and their parameters.
Personally, I'd stick with the state machine.
