Why seemingly all the neuronal membrane-bound receptor are exclusively GPCR or highly homologous to GPCR family?
I think you're confused about proteins that are GPCRs versus having homology. GABA-B is another that is a GPCR (it is not particularly related to GABA-A). These are also called metabotropic receptors.

Is there a mechanical/vibrational communication method between pre- and post-synaptic terminals in addition to chemical and electrical synapses?
Short answer
Action potentials travelling through the axon are accompanied by a mechanical displacement of the axonal membrane.
Background
Multiple studies have shown that a mechanical displacement of ...
