There are such file formats, but I don't know how useful they are for what you need. Check out OMF and AAF, two formats that state of the art DAWs are typically able to export

After slogging through all the crap necessary to get synth sound and mixed channels w/ fx playback and music simultaneously on iOS, I don't really feel like such an absolute beginner. I just am confused as to why my mp3 playback does not work with longer files, and in addition I am wondering whether a 'pure' sound format exists, where you get the samples and their sequencing all bundled up in a file.

What you're describing is a hybrid of sound waveforms and sequencing, with multiple data types in a single file. There have been such file types in the past, but they were usually custom-designed for one particular program and then adopted by one or two others.
