What I can't quite understand is what kind of Brexit the DUP want...
Would be amazing if they switched up to remaining at the end as they have begun softly whispering.

Isn't it a similar brexit to UKIP, in that bitching about it for eternity is hugely preferable to actually getting what they 'wanted'?

They can't accept a hard border because it would be disastrous in NI. They can't accept different regulations between NI and UK because of unionism. Ergo there is no form of Brexit that they can actually support except BINO. But Tories hate that and DUP have attached themselves to the Tories.
I don't know if CU+PV would pass, Ken Clarke said attaching PV to it would probably cause it to lose more votes than it gains ("moderate" Tories/Labour don't want PV).
Hammond is apparently pushing for PV + May's WA which I think could pass.

Have the DUP actually voted in favour of any flavour of Brexit yet, or are they adopting their usual policy of just saying 'NOOOOOO' to everything?

DUP will not support May's deal in any circumstances... they also voted against the other proposals yesterday.
But they may swing to Remain to protect the "precious / precarious" union per Dodds.
Ergh that guy is my MP and it takes a lot of votes to get him replaced...with SF who don't take their seats.
