I know Mister Alcubierre came out with his proposal in 1994 which I know was a good many decades after Star Trek (The Cage 1964 and/or Where No Man has Gone Before 1966).
But with what is known now, would it be fair to say that the Cochrane-style warp is a sort of Alcubierre Drive?

Um, no. The Alcubierre warp drive needs a monstrous amount of mass in front of the ship and an equally monstrous amount of negative mass behind the ship. Since no one in ST mentions anything about "negative mass" in regards to warp drive (given ST's love of technobabble, you'd expect it to turn up at least once), it's not an Alcubierre drive. Also, ST drives are explicitly stated to utilise "subspace" which the Alcubierre drive most certainly does not.
