You could probably do the renaming and in/out setting within Prelude to speed up the process. Once those are imported you can do time remapping, warp stabalizer and so on and then export in Premiere.
There is no terribly good way to do this within any Adobe app.
Alternately, you could attempt to script portions of this workflow in Adobe After Effects but depending on the size of your project and how often you need to do it, the time investment may not be worth it if you don’t know how to script already.

The last 8 seconds of a universal leader usually suffices for the lead in, if you slice and dice the last two seconds, this can suffice for the end two pop.
You can add a universal leader to your bin much like you would with a new solid color, bars and tone, etc.

You could try setting up a preset in https://www.stuudio.ee/anothergui/ Another GUI. This would allow some dummy-proof usage if other editors, assistants and so on are using the tool.
As far as FFMBC being difficult, it’ll take a few forum posts and an afternoon to learn.

This question is all over the place.
1. I would bet, without testing, that Premiere’s rescaling is the same if not better than MPEG Streamclip. Premiere, while running in software mode will do CPU based scaling while checking maximum quality or using a CUDA graphics card for hardware mode will increase the quality of scaling.
Regardless, when down scaling, it’s almost always good to add some sharpening to the image.
2. Why use MPEG Streamclip at all? What camera are you shooting or what system are you using that would require you to convert camera-original video? If you have to, what are you converting it to? This may also be the reason for some loss in sharpness as the image is resampled.
3. I would shoot in 1080 if you’d like to reframe in post. I think it’s an odd tactic, if you’re shooting a one-camera interview then marginal reframes will probably be more distracting to the viewer than helpful; it points to some other issues like the content not being interesting enough or the lack of a second interview/infograhic or b-roll cutaway.

FFMBC, but you will need to set the timecode flag.

Bluescreen crashes are usually hardware related. Google how to diagnose these issues and you may find it’s because of a bad hardware driver (you may need to roll back 3-4 versions), bad ram, overheating, and so on.
I would turn overclocking off in BIOS. I’m running i7 2600K and noticed some RAM voltage issues that lead to bluescreen crashes so I had to dial down settings quite a bit from what I, initially, found stable.

Knowing how the save files of Premiere work, I’d venture to say it’s a corrupted save file in some way or form.
Try importing this current Premiere Pro Project file into a brand new empty project. This does some housekeeping that may solve the issue. My best guess anyways.

When using slow motion in any form, it’s better to use sources with more frames. It’s like the temporal (time based) version of image resizing: it’s easier to get a great result if you increase the size of an 8mp image by 10% than if you were to do the same to a 400×600 image.
A computer program can only guess at what frames to create and if it’s given higher framerate material to begin with, this process is easier and returns a better result.
Shooting at a higher framerate to begin with also creates frames with less motion blur which improves this guessing process as well.

What version of Premiere Pro are you using? At some point (I think CS6) they introduced “flexible” audio tracks which allow stereo/mono tracks in the same mixing track. Before that, however, a mono track would be forcefully created if your only existing tracks were stereo tracks in the timeline – this may be the case here and there is no way to get around it.

No such thing. Ask for clarification from the station/distribution agent. I would assume an MXF wrapped file, possibly with MPEG-2 compression.
