The game does not model body armor.
At best, you can approximate it by tweaking the "Infantry toughness" value.

My first question is: would it be possible to model bullet resistant ballistic vests with ceramic trauma plates by increasing the "survivability" value a bit?

Infantry-type units do not use the "survivability" value (IIRC, it's only used to determine damage to armored vehicles after penetration).
It might be possible to add such functionality to the game, but I believe that'd be a lot of work for relatively little gain (and not "just" coding work - it would require re-working the OOBS, probably adding a lot of extra units).
