How to use projector on sway?
A key thing to remember with Wayland and external monitors or projectors: it will appear as a separate desktop, just like if you had two monitors and mirroring is not built in (and it does not appear it ever will be). If you want to mirror your screen, you'll have to use something like wl-mirror, which is actually really simple and slick.

What do you guys use to manage monitors?
Kanshi is great! When I need to deviate from that for some reason I fire up wdisplays. It worries me that wdisplays is unmaintained, but it's still the best tool for that. nwg-displays is another upcoming tool, though I had some issues with fractional scaling when I tested it.
