Sway external display
Without digging into you problem, i just let you know one options/tool as an addition: https://github.com/emersion/kanshi

This works, but after a reload of the config the configuration is gone. Then I found this discussion and changed the line to:
-
Arch users belike
Kanshi is not exactly what you're looking for but i stumbled across this when I was writing the dynamic display configuration page.

Terminal font size on hidpi + normal display
You should use different scale factors on each monitor. You can do it in your sway configuration, or use something like kanshi that automatically applies different settings based on what is connected.

Inaccessible workspaces
If this fixes your problem you'll want to apply this fix: Disable Laptop screen upon closing screen. or you can use something like Automatic display profile switcher when you connect your external display to switch it to while also disabling your laptop screen.

I also heard of kanshi for monitor configuration, but I believe there's an open bug where sway reload breaks kanshi config... which kind of defeats the purpose.
- Single Background / Multiple Monitors
-
Script for docked mode
kanshi should be able to do it.
-

Assuming your connected monitors may change - you plug another one in and then you want to move workspaces the new output: kanshi can help you with that. You can tell kanshi to execute commands when it matches a profile.

Sway not picking the highest refresh rate available
