I wonder if normal customers will see some of the custom features added for AP like editing files as they’re still being recorded (I’m sure there are some codec limitations but awesome feature if you’re capturing to a raid array).

What do you mean when you’re playing it with an external player? Another piece of software like Quicktime or VLC, or are you taking the MP4 to external hardware like a Blu-ray player?
Hardware components may add additional processing, if it is indeed something like a Blu-ray player then I would check audio settings for EQ or other enhancements, and disable them.

Put the clip in a 4K timeline and add warp stabilizer to the clip. Add the 4k timeline to your 1080 timeline (nesting) and resize as needed.
If you’re doing heavy stabilization work, it may be better to skip the process until the final conform/effects stage.

If it doesn’t the viewer or it doesn’t hinder the use of special effects then it’s purely an aesthetic decision. Denoising does remove the appearance of very fine detail. Removing all noise and then adding in more consistent and pleasing grain in post can retain the feel of these “high frequencies” details.
Denoising also reduces banding and other issues when doing heavy color grading. It’s not a miracle but it can help some shots.

Create a new timeline with the dimensions of 1920×1440 (this is the same width/height ratio as 1024×768) and drag your old timeline from the bin into your new timeline. You will notice this nests one timeline in the other and creates a video block just like any other footage. Right click this block and select “scale to frame size”. Render this video out to this size.
Youtube will add pillar boxes (black bars) to both sides because the footage isn’t 16:9.
Alternately, you could create a 1920×1080 timeline, nest your old timeline as I described above and then scale it to fit; this will crop some of the top and bottom of the image.

If I recall, right click one r3d file in your bin > source settings, near the top is debayer quality. Without Premiere open, I think they call it high/medium/low. Setting it for one file should do it for the project… I have a Red Rocket card so I never have the need to change it so I apologize for sounding slightly not sure of myself. It’s been a while.

I should mention that hard drive speed is rarely an issue (unless you’re doing multicam/multilayer edits of course) but the playback speed is mostly dictated by playback quality. You maybe be able to get away with half quality for your processor, but 1/4 is the norm for a good machine without a Red Rocket card.
The Red Rocket card does hardware debayering of the RED raw footage, basically taking care of the most computationally expensive part of the playback/conversion process.
Full quality rendering for your final product will take quite a bit of time, so benchmark your system before promising tight deadlines. We’re talking on the end of 20 mins for 1 minute of footage at 4k without a Red Rocket card, again if not a bit faster because you’re on the 12core.

To clarify, you mean An Editor’s Guide to Adobe Premiere Pro – 2nd edition from 2011 and not the software Premiere Pro 2 that’s 6 years old?

As an addendum, totally got lost in the fact you’ll be shooting video at night. You shouldn’t need a IR filter like I mentioned although you may not get the exposure you want in video mode because the camera will lock the minimum shutter speed to your framerate if I’m not mistaken. Unless you have very powerful IR lights (kind of defeats the purpose) then DSLRs may not be the right tool for the job.

If there isn’t anything blocking or crossing the doorway, you can track the opening of the door with Mocha (included with After Effects). The Mocha help file is a tutorial and should get you through what seems to be a relatively easy shot.
Mocha is a planar (multi-pont plane) tracker.
