If I am encoding from UHD HDR to HD SDR x265 10bit, do I want YUV420P8 or YUV420P10?

Qhether you want 10bit or 8bit output depends on what you need. 10bit H.264 usually has no hardware decoding support (10bit h.265 usually has). 10bit will deliver better quality at the same bit rate.

Vapoursynth in Hybrid will deliver the color space you specify in the encoder you use, the target format&co you chose in HDR10ToSDR only is for that filter.
Note that there is no strict standard how to convert from HDR to SDR, so which method you chose is your choice, so you might want to check the colors in the Vapoursynth preview and adjust the settings.
Personally, I usually either use 'HDR10 to SDR (DG)' or 'ToneMap (Placebo)', the latter is slower, but depending on the setting I prefer it.

Yes, it's enough to use one of the filters in the 'HDR to SDR'-tab to adjust the colors, but you probably might want to add a matrix conversion to change from bt2020 to bt709 for general compatibility.
