If I need BTC to open a LN channel, how do I withdraw from an exchange with LN?
you need a channel currently which the exchange can open with you but thats inefficient. Luckily sidecar channels entered beta now which are expeted to be the standard way of onboarding people in the near future: https://github.com/lightninglabs/pool/blob/7c8f129778b3fb6f5709f59418e209ee03f78602/docs/sidecar_channels.md
- Dual channels?

If I connect a personal wallet to my Bitcoin Lightning node, do I have to open a channel?
If you want multiple users, you'll need multiple node instances. LNbits (mentioned by /u/sos755) does not implement this. Rather, it simply abstracts the funds associated with a single node into multiple logical accounts. This means that the node administrator still has underlying control of all funds associated with the node. See this GitHub discussion for a bit more info: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/issues/2652

I have a dedicated LN seed phrase on a metal seed storage and would like to import it into an LN wallet + would like to have a basic backup of LN data on an encrypted cloud = Which wallet can handle this? Any advice? Note: I don’t want to run an LN node right now.
LND doesn’t use BIP39 mnemonics. https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/aezeed/README.md

Advice/suggestions on running a BTC node (w/ lnd) on a Mac Mini 2018
Both Bitcoin Core and LND have binaries available for macOS, for example. I have not seen an actual guide to set everything up on macOS tho. It's quite similar to Linux honestly.

How do you default LND to use Taproot and enable RBF (for on-chain transactions)?
As for taproot change addresses, this has been the default behaviour since version 0.15.5. Just update your lnd and you're all set.
