Tamworth ILS and Class D

Just a few quick questions regarding class D and Tamworth ILS!!!
I have just been given my IR flight test route it includes the Tamworth ILS, in my training I have only ever been radar vectored onto the localizer!! But I have done the DME arcs/Back track in the synthetic trainer!!

My route is YSBK – YMND (VOR AWK) YSTW (ILS) – YPMQ (NDB AWK)

Question regarding YSTW procedures???
1. At Mount Sandon can I expect to be handed over to the tower??
2. When I request airways clearance do I give my inbound radial or only if asked??
3. Could I expect a clearance like “track direct to the field”??
4. Will the tower step me down from my cruise altitude or will I have to request descent ECT??
5. At 5 ish NM’s will I then be given a clearance to enter the hold and commence a back track of the localizer and report established???
6. Once in the missed approach do I have to give a Departure report or will I then be given a clearance to continue the climb to cruise level and track to YPMQ???

I know the scenarios will vary depending on traffic ect but any info will help!

Any help or info would be greatly appreciated I have asked around my flying school and no one is 100 % sure on what to expect!! My next option is to ring a local flying school and speak to an IFR instructor and see if they can shed any light. Just want to be ahead of the A/C during the test!!!!
