Answer 1

In Metarig open Edit mode and find Samples sub-tab in Rigify UI:

You can find information about samples here

Select sample splines.basic_tail and press Add sample button

Move the created bones in position like this:

You can subdivide bones if you want more bones.

Parent first bone in chain to spline bone using Ctrl+P ⇾ keep offset

Move your bones into the desired collection by pressing M. For example, I moved them into Torso

In Pose mode, select the first bone in the chain, and in the bone tab click on Z button in Rigify type tab:

If you want, you can move generated tweak bones into a separate collection. To do this, activate Assign Tweak Collection, and add one in the list.

Click regenerate and test added controls!
