Skew Kostka coefficients from Littlewood-Richardson Coefficients from Kostka coefficients

I read on page 4 here that the Kostka coefficients $K_{\lambda,\mu}$ are specializations of the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients $c^\tau_{\sigma,\lambda}$ by specializing $\sigma,\tau$ depending on $\mu$ in a simple manner (certain sums of parts of $\mu$).

I have two questions: Is there a similar specialization/translation for Kostka coefficients obtained from skew shapes, $K_{\lambda,\mu}^\nu$ where $\lambda/\nu$ is a skew shape?

SecondlyMotivation: Is there a way to "go back", i.e. can I express $c^\tau_{\sigma,\lambda}$ as some linear combination of some skew Kostka coefficients $K_{\lambda,\mu}^\nu$?

I would like to see if polynomiality of the map $n \mapsto K_{n \lambda, nw}^{n \nu}$ implies polynomiality for a similar map with LW-coefficients.
