Def start with all weights until you get your squat up to 300 (and make sure its a full squat not a 1/2 or 1/4). Don't even think about TVP until you're at 9-12% bodyfat and can squat 300 minimum and have a vert of 28+. You might be able to do it only because your UPNs would be low and your 1rm would let you get away with doing it on really low weights but you'd get nothing out of it that you would get from doing something your level (which you'd get much more from).

Parallel squats are sufficient. Don't go for ATG is you are not flexible enough (film yourself doing them if you are not sure and watch out for e.g. a rounded back in the bottom position). You have deadlifts and good mornings among other things to work your posterior chain.
But yeah, try to lose some excess weight. Your vert and health will both benefit.
