Client / Server VPN with Client behind Router

EDIT: This has already been answered, as the post was delayed and I asked again.

I am trying to establish a VPN from a FLEX50 (client) to a FLEX200 (server).
The FLEX200 (server) has it's own IP on the WAN, I am able to establish L2TP over IPsec VPN connections from my Mac (from WAN side | with the onboard VPN client). So far so good.
The FLEX50 (client) is behind a Router and should connect to the FLEX200 via VPN.
What I need to achieve:
Have the FLEX50 sit in a remote LAN and connect some kiosk-screens to the FLEX200. Problem is, that I cannot (don't want to) have to configure anything on the remote router, since it's at a client site. So i thought the "connect like a PC" does makes sense here…
As mentioned, the L2TP-IPsec VPN works – so I was thinking to use that mode for connecting with the FLEX50 as well.
But the connection fails…
Some questions:
#1 - Does my idea even make sense? I am quite new to VPNs and this advanced routing stuff, so I might miss something simple.
#2 - Is it OK to have the client's WAN be the local IP it got from the router? After all a PC client also is behind a router, right?
#3 - Do I need to use X-Auth | Client Mode with user/pass?
It doesn't seem to work either, stuck at the same problem, but less output in the log.
#4 - Does the FLEX50 have any policies configured for the VPN to be stable?
I configured policies on the FLEX200 already so the VPN works and I can access clients with the connection from a PC. Didn't bother on the FLEX50 yet, but maybe that's required?
#5 - The FLEX50 Gateway > My Address > "WAN" is the DHCP it gets from the router. Is that correct? Or should I input "0.0.0.0" here?
#6 - Encapsulation on the FLEX200 is "Transport", while on the FLEX50 it's "Tunnel".
When I change the FLEX200 to "Tunnel", my Mac cannot connect anymore.
When I change the FLEX50 to "Transport", I get the "error CLI Number: 6 | Warning Number: 16017 | Warning Message: 'Remote policy need host or interface ip type'" on saving settings and "CLI Number: 0 | Error Number: -16016 | Error Message: 'Dial an incomplete tunnel has failed for Crypto map.'" when trying to connect.
Here are both IKE logs (newest log items on top):
Phase 2 seemingly fails due to NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN / Phase 2 Local policy mismatch
