Blindfold chess for chess enthusiastic who is, well, going blind
If you are looking for a weaker opponent (Stockfish 14, even at depth 1 isn't a walk in the park for a start) I did a little tournament between a bunch of not-top engines and found that Lucas Chess's acqua engine is the weaker I could find (and the engine file can be found on the software folder).

My Elo is 820, I want to break 1000, any tips?
Alternatively, The Soviet Chess Primer by Ilya Maizelis. This was Karpov's and Kasparov's first chess book and ton of strong players still recommend it. This deals with from the absolute ground up and I think should get you to at least a thousand. If you are going to use this, however, make sure you supplement it with either puzzle books or puzzle programs. I really like Lucas Chess for this purpose.

Is there a free website/software that allows users to create diagrams for chess books, free to use for commercial purposes?
Lucas Chess lets you save diagrams as images. Scid Vs PC lets you export HTML, LaTeX, etc. I haven't tried it but if it works, this is probably the most customizable option.

Any mobile app recommendations (or even modern PC apps) similar to Chessmaster in useability, capability and variety?

PC app suggestion
Lucas Chess and Deep Shredder would be my recommendations. You can load and play all sorts of engines in Lucas Chess, so once you find the perfect engine out there for your Dad you can just set that as the default everytime.
