Is it only the basic Land Speeder that can be used as the spotter? Is there some preferred way to model said Land Speeder to show it's a spotter?

Basic land speeder, as in not a Storm, yes. But I don't think there are any restrictions to upgrades. You can also take multiple speeders in the squadron.

I'd not worry about distinguishing them, unless there is potential for confusion with other speeders in your list not in the formation. If you want to do something, I might stick a little radar dish, antenna, or a little sensor box on somewhere.

Good to hear. I've got a spare Land Speeder in pieces and was wanting to make a spotter. I think I'll just put two spotlights underneath where the assault cannon/flamer usually go and maybe the extra dish from the Master of the Ravenwing.
