You will have to create some kind of custom operator.  The easiest would be
to effectively duplicate the @@ operator but reverse the order of the
operands.  Then you could do:

to_tsquery('ipod') @@^ ANY(tsvector_array)

Unfortunately the ANY must be applied to the right-hand type.

No clue but at a high level ISTM that tsvector[] is in many ways
functionally similar to "tsvector || tsvector" ... even if only for indexing
purposes
