Use Project Manager to create a new project including only the sequences and media you need.

Your best friend with the manual is Advanced Search if you are using Acrobat Reader.
…and in general the manual is really well done… a ton of information if you are willing to take the time to read!

The keyframe functions under MARK menu refer to the Color page (keyframing a node or keyframing tracking) not the audio keyframes. In general, I found the main menus confusing because some functions apply to certain pages and not others, but they still show up there, just like your example.
In Resolve 16, I believe your only option in the EDIT page is to move the audio keyframes with the mouse. If you go to the FAIRLIGHT page and select the Inspector tab, you can move from one keyframe to the other using < or > in front of the volume, and change your value at the same time.
I hope this help.

I would recommend to rename your files at the OS level. If you need to automate the process it exists many software utilities depending your OS (Windows, Mac, Unix?) to help you with that task. Most editing software won’t make it easy for you to change the actual name of the files for media management reasons, unless you transcode your media or create new media.

Yes I believe there is a quicker way to do what you are trying to achieve: use Data burn-in function. You can find it under the Workspace menu. It will allow you to create a background at the same time than outputting the TC information you need. When you are ready to deliver, don’t forget to check in the Data burn-in box in the output parameters.

You may want to check sample level editing in Fairlight. You just need to zoom into your track until you see control points. Once zoomed in you can “redraw” your audio level, in your case take out your spike in your audio. Make sure you have some markers or are working in a loop play mode so you don’t loose your editing spot.

Many different ways to get your duration in Resolve.
Based on IN and OUT markers, in your timeline, you can read the duration on the top left part of your timeline monitor.
Like Peter mentions it, you can also convert your IN and OUT markers to a Duration marker: just mouse click-right in the area where the markers show, and select “Convert In and Out to Duration markers”, or select from the Mark menu. Unlike the first option, you can keep as many duration markers as you wish and go back to them if needed.
If you need to get a quick time duration from a clip, position the playhead above that clip and hit the X key: it will automatically position the IN and OUT markers for that clip.
I would recommend you look at the DaVinci Resolve Reference Manual. Duration markers is explained on p566.

I would check Michael’s suggestions. If you are not satisfied with your result, I would check a plugin like RE:Vison FX Twixtor (OFX included): you will have much more controls over how the frame selection and blending happen over your timeline frame rate and timing.
I usually prefer After effects over Resolve to deal with any frame rates issues outside of the ordinary. You have many more controls and quality output is better.

How did you import your effects? where did you place them on your drive? which ones are they?

“can a video be authored to USB in the same
way as DVD?”Yes but you need your client to use some kind of DVD player. If you are planning to have your client playing your presentation from a computer, you might be better off using some HTML pages which is widely used accross platforms.
