Auto tiling
As you can see here, here, here and here some work was done long ago to introduce different tiling options but this feature was never top priority for head dev.

Layout differencies eOS 5.1.7 vs. eOS 7
it was broken here https://github.com/elementary/gala/pull/1304/commits. I'm too lazy to revert that code but it's possible to fix the gtk2 dimm bug (which possibly also fixes the rest too)

Can one write pantheon extensions (like for gnome-shell)?
For hiding applications from overview, or showing only windows of the focused app you would need to patch gala, the window manager. It is written mostly in vala, and uses libmutter (the same lib for gnome-shell's window management) underneath. Apparently it has a "plugin" system, but I'm not versed enough that those plugins have to be there at compile time or can be separately compiled. Here's the code: https://github.com/elementary/gala

theres this code (not mine its g4music's) that doesn't seem to work. Its trying to send Artist and Music title to mpris thru dbus so apps like playerctl can use it, except those values never show up except in dbus monitor with "destination = null" How can i fix this?
I’m AFK currently, but here’s the equivalent code in elementary Music that is working here for comparison https://github.com/elementary/music/blob/main/src/DBus/MprisPlayer.vala

Fedora 36 fresh install. Native res, no scale. Blurry?
libhandy does not exist for GTK4. So, newer elementary apps will use GTK4 + Granite. An example is the new GTK4-based Music application. Cassidy, one of the lead devs of elementary, has said that libadwaita can be used in GTK4 elementary apps too but there's no real example of this afaik.
