dowhy
DoWhy is a Python library for causal inference that supports explicit modeling and testing of causal assumptions. DoWhy is based on a unified language for causal inference, combining causal graphical models and potential outcomes frameworks. (by py-why)
pgmpy
Python Library for learning (Structure and Parameter), inference (Probabilistic and Causal), and simulations in Bayesian Networks. (by pgmpy)

Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Causality for Machine Learning
I'm a fan of the Do Why library out of Microsoft. Even as a novice in the field of causal modeling it can get you up and running by estimating the causal graph based on your data. https://github.com/py-why/dowhy

Acceptable data formats for Predictive Stepwise Logistic Regression
considering how well understood the generating process is, causal analysis could potentially be very powerful here and would model the "not every possible combination of variables is represented" component extremely naturally. https://github.com/py-why/dowhy

Do you use any specific framework when it comes to causal inference?
The Do-why package could be useful.

[Q] What are some of the most useful topics/classes in philosophy for Statistics?
Before those discussions, it's good to understand the very basics of the topic so you 1) demonstrate momentum to the prof, and 2) have the basis for a meaningful discussion. For causal reasoning, you can check out the Pearl book Causal inference in statistics, a primer, which is short and readable. Definitely check out the Do Why python package which has good tutorials and videos.

[D] Python toolboxes for probabilistic graphical model inference
I do know of a few promising toolboxes such as pgmpy, pymc3, and pyro, but have not used either of them (for this purpose) and am at a bit of a loss picking one to start with.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing dowhy and pgmpy you can also consider the following projects:
causalnex - A Python library that helps data scientists to infer causation rather than observing correlation.
looper - A resource list for causality in statistics, data science and physics
statsmodels - Statsmodels: statistical modeling and econometrics in Python
causal-learn - Causal Discovery in Python. It also includes (conditional) independence tests and score functions.
scikit-learn - scikit-learn: machine learning in Python
causalgraph - A python package for modeling, persisting and visualizing causal graphs embedded in knowledge graphs.
CausalPy - A Python package for causal inference in quasi-experimental settings
rustworkx - A high performance Python graph library implemented in Rust.
