gnu.org or gnupg.org - I have mot updated anything at gnu.org for quite
soem time.  However, all packages come with a reference manual.

No.  --pinentry-mode is a new feature of GnuPG 2.1 and the gpgme manual
does not yet document this new API.  You are using 2.0 which does not
provide pinentry-mode at all.

Sure, without a context gpgme can't store the callback.

That depends on the configuraion of gpg 2.0 or 1.4.   IIRC< you need to
use no-use-agent in gpg.conf.
