There are purple beans but the vanilla bean is brown.
Vanilla extract can be used in place of vanilla bean paste. The equivalent of 1 tablespoon of paste is 1 tbsp. extract.

Vanilla is derived from the pod of a certain variety of orchid, and this pod is called a vanilla bean. To make vanilla you have to soak vanilla beans in vodka to extract the flavor. So no, usable vanilla is never a solid.
Chocolate frosting is always a classic and will go great with coffee cakes. My advice is that the simpler your frosting it is, the more extravagant and elegant it will look on your coffee cake.
