[Question] Steam OpenID login using NodeJS
Yes, I would say passport steam is the most common way people implement steam login in node. If you cannot understand the docs I would personally suggest taking a look at the provided example in the passport steam repo, which you can find at https://github.com/liamcurry/passport-steam/tree/master/examples/signon

SteamCMD... Potential for building UI over it?
https://github.com/DoctorMcKay/node-steam-user is a popular NodeJS library for writing steam bots. This could provide useful, but iirc the method this uses for login will only allow you to have one login session at a time. Steam will automatically kick you out with a "logged in elsewhere" error.

[Question] What is the state of stream bot development?
Depends on what language you're using for JavaScript I think the defacto is anything Doctor McKay makes https://github.com/DoctorMcKay/node-steam-user, https://github.com/DoctorMcKay/node-steam-user etc. If you use python, I'd recommend https://github.com/Gobot1234/steam.py (I'm totally not biased). If you use C# then SteamKit is always a good option. If you use rust then SteamHelper looks interesting although doesn't support too many trading bot features

Tools other than SteamAPI
I don't know any direct resources for learning how the Steam network works, smart people figured it out over many years and lots of reverse engineering. I just know a few programming libraries which you can use to interact with it, the most popular two being Steam-User (JavaScript) and SteamKit2 (.NET).

[Question] Boost Playtime Of Non-Played Games
One way you can do this, is by using the "steam user" node module node-steam-user. to play the games. And use the api call to Steam_Web_API to get the playtime of each of the games the account have.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing passport-steam and node-steam-user you can also consider the following projects:
node-openid-client - OpenID Certified™ Relying Party (OpenID Connect/OAuth 2.0 Client) implementation for Node.js.
node-steamcommunity - Interact with various interfaces on Steam Community from Node.js
