See the patch in https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=49822#45
for a proposed solution to the second problem.

As to the first problem (not echoing the input): I think this would be
pretty hard to implement in a dumb terminal.  You could try running the
Python shell in a terminal emulator (term or vterm) and write a macro to
paste regions of text into it.  In any case, echoing the input also
seems to be a somewhat unconventional behavior.  I don't think I would
want that.

PS: By 'python-send-to-repl' I assume you mean the 'python-shell-send-*'
family of commands, or do you refer to some external package?
