@romainl, getmatches returns a list of {'group': ?, 'pattern': ?, 'priority': ?, 'id': ?}, so it's not about the list of matches relative to one matchadd command.

Does this link help? Restoring the cursor position from backtick register works for me; simply put let a = getpos("'`") | call cursor(a[1], a[2]) after the execute line.

the searchcount() function accepts a pattern argument! See also this answer which shows a complete example for the searchcount() function. You just need to provide a pattern to it

:help getmatches() is mentioned at the bottom of :help matchadd().
