Can users use any widget type they like, or is Emacs limited
to running this specific widget which uses Webkit?
I think I heard Webkit is free software, but it the browser we want to
recommend is IceCat. Is there a widget version of IceCat, that Emacs
could use?

EWW is totally different from the xwidget feature, right? If so,
EWW and xwidget are unrelated issues.
The HTML <video> construct works without Javascript; but Youtube and
some other sites use it together with nonfree JS code, in such a way
that it won't work unless the browser runs the JS code.
