Description field in Compile Meta-Data area - is this required?
As for editing your ePub file after compile, I definitely recommend either Calibre or Sigil. Either of these will be integral to a publication workflow, even if you get most of the job done with Scrivener. There is no better way to figure out what goes where or what an error message means if your book doesn't pass validation (and will help with validation itself so you don't run into that situation in the first place).

Page Break After Chapter Title
I recommend using Sigil for this kind of work, as you can see the changes you make to CSS in real time, and more easily find the exact element class names you'll need to work with.

Manga in Epub format
If it reads like gibberish to you though, try using Sigil or this thing if it even works.

Looking for help with, or alternatives to, Kindle Create
Download Calibre. Format your manuscript in Word how you want it to look and import it into Calibre to create an ePub file. Calibre does a very good job of translating your Word formatting into the HTML required for the ePUB file. If you want to do some tidying up to the ePUB file, download and use Sigil, which is a very good tool for editing ePub files. Both software tools are free.

Converting my PhD thesis into HTML
With MathML epubs can look decent. For example take a look at the sample MathML epub "A First Course In Linear Algebra" [0] (in a reader that supports MathML of course). It looks pretty good. The problem is Amazon STILL doesn't support MathML, so publishers just churn out a gross version where all the equations are images and so then it doesn't scale properly with the text and the book becomes 300+ MB because of it. And they can't be bothered to make two versions for readers like Kobo that do support MathML.

File Types -- ? New to Brave, after a few days, I have only one question please?
For example, if you want to open epub files like https://github.com/IDPF/epub3-samples/releases/download/20170606/accessible_epub_3.epub inside Brave, you will have to install an epub reader extension then instead of downloading it will open inside Brave, if you want to change that behavior you have to disable the extension or limit the extension's domain list, or you right click and "save link as file", but unless the extension has the settings, there is no way to tell Brave to use extension or download manager depending on extensions, unless the extension gets disabled. And if you have an external epub reader, well, you can automatically open the extension when you tell Brave to do it as well.

Today I learned ePub is just HTML/CSS
I've worked on a ePub parse and renderer and the issues you're describing sound pretty familiar.
The three main components of the ePub (aside from the actual pages) are the TOC, the spine and the manifest. The manifest basically tells you where everything is, the TOC is the table of contents which can link to various pages and the spine gives you the traversal order.
Some mistakes I've seen are using the TOC to traverse the book. Using the spine to traverse the book but not handling hidden pages properly. Not handling two page spread properly.
So yeah the spec is nuanced and it would be easy to make a reader that worked with a lot of books but then had weird issues on another set of books that aren't particularly different.
I recall using this repo (https://github.com/IDPF/epub3-samples) to test specific functionality to make sure it was in line with the spec.
