No, this doesn't hit the triceps primarily. It's eccentric contraction so it hits the same muscles as you use going up, with is primarily the biceps and the triceps help a bit.
I take it you have never done arm curles with free weights? How about military press? Single arm extentions over the head? All of those, pluss many more, work the biseps very well.
Yeah, an arm curl does. A military press works the triceps because it's extending the arm.
Handstand push-ups work the biseps by the same principal that pull-up work the triseps.
No, handstands work the triceps in the same way that the military press does.
There's more that's wrong but these are the main things, I think.
