Can you talk a bit on how you convert the AST to your NN input?

Do you traverse the AST and send it to a recurrent net? Do you compress the AST into a different representation first?

Well there are always trade offs. NNs aren't very good with trees, too symbolic so usually compressing it into a different format is better. We have a few we use depending on the goal, but always looking for trying new ones since this really is the crux of the problem.
