Actually, I think the first jump would be best; all the thrust from the legs would go into downward motion of the tramp and upward motion of the body. After that the guy would be kicking the tramp at random points in its motion. Soon it would be thrashing about with a large number of modes of oscillation (assuming no energy loss - all energy from the kicks staying within the man/trampoline system). The man’s bounces would be of various heights. Hopefully, after a few years, he’ll hit it just right and get enough energy transferred to him to begin his infinite journey.

Yes, depending upon the flexibility of the suit. The problem is not propulsion, it is that your inertia will be normal but the associated gravity pull, and therefore friction, will not. That disjoint will make you clumsy. Want to fall down and crack your faceplate?
