In the AVD Manager I cannot create an emulator for SDK/API 26 despite having installed it. It does not appear in the GUI (only 24 can be selected).

This is my system-images in the SDK folder for B4A:

Currently the Intel system image is only available for Android 24 and below.
This relates to B4A, I guess?
Also noted that Quick Boot (saving state) does not work on the Android 24 emulator when used with B4A while it works with Android Studio (which of course points to a different SDK since we cannot use the same).

Not really.
The Intel system image is provided by Android SDK.
B4A AVD Manager creates AVDs with intel image. The emulator is mostly not usable without it (too slow).

Once an AVD is running it doesn't matter how it was created or started so you can continue to use the AVDs created with Android Studio or with the old Sdk Manager.
