Is it accurate to describe it as a fork?

In any case, I'm most concerned about the fact that there was some kind of mysterious collaborative operation [1] for the z-SNARK bootstrapping.

If Monero and ZCash have similar properties, Monero seems to be superior because it requires less trust.

I think they mean a fork of the codebase.

Yes -- I didn't think it was one. But I see now that I was mistaken.
