I can help you with all the parts you need to flat tow your 2018 Honda Accord Sport with manual transmission.

You are correct that the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # RM-521572-4 and the Roadmaster Falcon # RM-522 is compatible with this base plate kit and you can use safety chains # RM-643 as well.

The Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 will also work great for your Accord.

For a supplemental braking system, the Roadmaster InvisiBrake # RM-8700 you referenced is a good choice, though you will also need Brake-Lite Relay # RM-88400 to prevent your Accord's brake signal from overriding the turn signal from the RV when applying the brakes during a turn.

High-low adapter # RM-048-10 offers a 10-1/4" rise or drop, and may work for you. To know for sure, measure from the ground up to the center of the trailer hitch receiver on your RV and from the ground up to the center point of the tabs/base plates where the tow bar attaches on your Accord. The difference between these two measurements is the amount of rise or drop you need, and to be safe you'll need to be no more than 3" above or below completely level.
