CarPlay and Android Auto actually work well, and you can use the apps that you already have on your phone. The screens are generally more convenient and restrict view less than a phone holder stuck to the window. But without those, I agree that I’d rather have no screen than one with crappy media controls and the car’s own navigation.
What did they do?

You would need to set up routes on these other devices to tell them that VPN devices can be reached through the Pi. It’s possible, but I’ve never done it myself, so I don’t have any useful pointers.
You can’t change icons from the system/launcher settings. Individual apps can offer icon options, but they are internal to the app.
Yes. All devices connected to the VPN will have a private IP inside the virtual network. You can use these to communicate as though they were public IPs, except that they can’t be used from outside the VPN.
Yes, you can connect the device behind CGNAT to your existing VPN as a client. Then, from inside the VPN, you would use the its virtual address to connect to it. You can use a systemd service or similar to have the VPN connect at boot.
There are a few default instances in the settings page, and you can add your own as well.
Yeah, ISP-related issue is all I can think of. I can connect to the server over v4 no problem, but the broken v6 connectivity to this particular endpoint is strange and nothing I’ve seen before…
Tailscale and Netmaker use wireguard under the hood, so as long as you manage to establish the connections, they should be just as fast! If you need to use relaying, however, that will introduce additional overhead.
I’ve looked at one, but all that I can tell is I stop reaching things somewhere between my ISP and the datacenter the server is in.
I do this, too. I haven’t tried Tailscale, but Netmaker wasn’t able to deal with my CGNAT without a relay node, and I found that to be hit-and-miss.
He claimed he DMed the admins. I can’t see any public post about it.
