In order to solve T259774, MobileFrontend needs to know the following about a block:
MobileFrontEnd gets the block details from ApiBlockInfoTrait::getBlockDetails, which currently does not answer questions (2) and (3). We can update it to include this information.

Is the block sitewide or partial?
This is one thing that is already answered:

For actions like API:Edit, API:Move, the API returns blockpartial, blocknocreate and/or blockanononly as appropriate for single and composite blocks, but not system blocks.
For example, response from API when attempting to edit a page:
...
"error": {
"code": "blocked",
"info": "You have been blocked from editing this page.",
"blockinfo": {
"blockid": 12466,
"blockedby": "Dom walden",
"blockedbyid": 16150,
"blockreason": "",
"blockedtimestamp": "2020-08-24T12:31:39Z",
"blockexpiry": "2020-08-31T12:31:39Z",
"blockpartial": "",
"blocknocreate": "",
"blockanononly": ""
},
