Is there a way to request technical call information (eg RTT and packet loss) through the API? I'd like to write an app that collects this information and displays simple link quality meter for the current call.

If this is possible, is it also possible to obtain the IP address of the other end of the call?

Skype provides this information

You could either edit config.xml as follows

Windows
<DisplayCallInfo>1</DisplayCallInfo>
Linux
<TechCallInf>1</TechCallInf>

Or for newer version of Skype, it's available on GUI

With version 1.4 of Skype

Windows,
(select Skype ➝ Tools ➝ Options... ➝ Advanced, and then check or uncheck "Display technical call info").
Linux,
(select Skype ➝ Tools ➝ Options... ➝ Advanced, and then check or uncheck "Display technical call info").
