I'm looking for a way to control a bunch of servo motors through homebridge
Before switching to HA, I always used MQTT-Thing for my Tasmota devices, but there are several HB plugins that don’t require an MQTT broker to work.

Home charger status chart, enjoying the MQTT integration from OpenEVSE. Curious why Volvo XC40 Recharge resumes charging at 0.4A for 10m a few times after it's done.
I'm not familiar with Homebridge, but it looks like there may be a Homebridge <=> MQTT bridge already.

Interact to Node-Red through Homebridge - any options?
For actually exposing the sensor to HomeKit, Homebridge is great. I’m a big fan of MQTT-Thing and have not yet found a replacement for all it can do; Home Assistant HomeKit support is good, but lacks many features of HB with MQTT-Thing. For this reason, I’d suggest you simply publish the “battery level” to the topic setup for the contact sensor in HB, add an apply function based on the low battery level, and you’re done.

Is it possible to create a dummy window covering switch to set multiple blinds to a specific position?
My approach would be to use MQTT-Thing to present a fake blind to HomeKit and Node-RED to translate/mirror the position state to your real blinds.

Recreate iHome sensor notifications in Home/Shortcuts automation
Which dummy contact sensor plugin are you using? I found https://github.com/arachnetech/homebridge-mqttthing and it looks like had to install mosquitto, which I did, but I don’t know what to add in MQTT settings/topics/etc.

Dummy Switch
This is the plug-in that you need. Your config should look like this { "name": "Sunroom Outlet", "stateful": true, "reverse": false, "time": 1000, "resettable": false, "contact": true, "accessory": "homebridge-dummy-contact.DummySwitch" }, When you make the dummy contact you’ll have a switch and a contact sensor pop up in Home app, when you turn the switch on it opens the contact and closes when switched off. When Alexa discovers devices she will find both. You can make a routine based off of the state change of the contact sensor.

Use Siri (HomePod) to control Alexa plugs
You'll need to use homekit dummy contact to create a dummy plug and contact sensor. The contact sensor reacts to the status of the dummy plug.
What are some alternatives?
