Where to start (CSV/XML) + GUI for small app
As a Linux programmer I only have experience with GTK using LGI. They're a wonderful dynamic bindings built over GObject Introspection. They have nice documentation however since it's GTK you can use documentation from other languages that have GTK bindings.

What are some good libraries for UI and other common needs nowadays?
I liked using Slab but I only used it for debug UI and not game UI. I believe it supports invisible buttons so you could draw your own images for stylish UI.

How to make ui?
You could use a library like slab (which lets you just add buttons but may not be so straight forward to deeply customize your look) or helium (which facilitates creating a UI system for buttons, but may not be straightforward to use). I use slab for my debug UI and like it, but haven't tried it for nice-looking game UI.
What are some alternatives?
