Help me understand the possibilities of Bash (best uses, etc)
Aside from the obvious uses - command line scripts - you can also do quite a bit with the GUI. Check out Yad for bash script GUI. X11 related tools like wmctrl, xdotool allow you to create spectacular scripts. I write and use numerous dynamic menus created with bash + jgmenu.

A little bit confused about window managers
rofi or dmenu are often used and I can recommend them too. These programs are graphical that can be used to build your own menu with a few options and arguments. They also have some functionality to show you installed programs on your system and execute it. Qtile itself have such a functionality too: DmenuRun . And there is a menu program that will list applications like KDE startmenu with categories does in example: jgmenu

HELP: A dmenu script that categorize applications
If you want a working alternative, I use jgmenu. It's pretty light. https://github.com/johanmalm/jgmenu

I wrote a script to resize the focused window to an aspect ratio.
It's jgmenu!

is Openbox still being developed?
It is worth adding that Johan is also the author of an excellent jgmenu. So labwc is a serious project led by a great developer. https://github.com/johanmalm/jgmenu

| first build tips - openbox maybe?
For a start menu similar to what you'd have in Windows, you can use something called jgmenu which you can read more about here https://jgmenu.github.io/. To get a start button for jgmenu, you can add a button to tint2 and bind it to jgmenu, you can select an icon, place text for it, or do both.

jgmenu
You'll probably want to run it when right clicking the desktop in which case you will need xqp to check if the mouse is over the desktop before launching jgmenu.
