Please let me sync my entire music library locally to my phone Plex!
You don't need Plex for that. A simple local music player will do just fine if you always want your whole library stored locally.
I want it locally on my phone and my computer and both synced with smart playlists.
You could use Syncthing (and syncthing-fork on android), but I don't know how playlists are stored, but you can potentially sync that too.
Is the Plex music library in a standard file system format that can be accessed locally on iOS?
No, apple forces you into their services and the cloud. Self-hosting is practically not an option with iOS, or at least a much worse experience.
No. I'm not aware of a good way to sync music to the built-in iOS player; you have to go through iTunes.
