Is there a way to customize how new windows are gonna be arranged on creation?
Check out https://github.com/nwg-piotr/autotiling I think I even left the configuration as is and the tiling is much better now.
- Change windows layout

Master and stack layout, similar to dwm
autotiling --limit 2 is close enough https://github.com/nwg-piotr/autotiling

I am struggling with fully understanding how i3 will tile
If you do want some "smart" behaviour as to how a new window will split automatically, try the autotiling script.

https://github.com/nwg-piotr/autotiling does it work for you?

If you want to stay on sway you can try autotiling.

People who uses i3 (or any wm) do you use only one monitor, or you have a multiple monitors setup?
Have tried lots of window managers including awesome, but there's always something annoying that sends me back to i3. I use this to solve the problems you're referring to: https://github.com/nwg-piotr/autotiling

Have 'sticky' option for a tiling window
There exists an experimental patch for i3 that does this, so maybe it's worth looking into that. I'm afraid we won't see this in either i3 or sway for a long time though.

Showing a window on several workspaces?
For floating windows, as others pointed out, stickiness is a good answer. For tiled windows things become naturally more complicated. A long time ago I prototyped i3-sticky, feel free to check it out – but an actual "product" would have to be built out of this to be really usable, I think.
