I can't find the AliveInVR control surface in Live's MIDI setup?
If Ableton Live was installed after AliveInVR, the setup needs re-running to install the AliveInVR scripts into Ableton Live's MIDI remote script folder. To re-install the scripts:

Click on Browse Local Files

From the folder displayed run Setup
How do I get the lowest latency when triggering drumracks and instruments?
To get the lowest latency, use an audio interface with low latency audio rather than routing audio direct to your VR headset's I/O.
​
The best latency when routed direct to your headset is achieved by using the custom ASIO driver which routes audio direct from Ableton Live into AliveInVR.
