Duplicate Target Manager
Not sure which posts you should setup with this script? I made a quick SEDE query to help you find common duplicate target posts for your tag of choice.

Votes/Answers/Views listed vertically.
I don't see that any changes to the home page just recently went live, so it may be something under the hood that has broken.

If not available already, can we have a version of that user script applying for Meta Stack Overflow please?

How to get new questions continuously?
Probably the most cost-effective way is to poll /questions every minute or two. (Results are cached so, polling more than once a minute probably won't do anything but chew up your quota.)

Would it be possible to create a script that could be run manually to unprotect questions that meet certain parameters?
Yes, it is possible to create such a script and here it is:

Is there any way or script to sort questions/posts/answers with custom criteria?
You can filter (not sort) questions (and to some extent answers) by using the /search/advanced route of the API.

The /questions endpoint only returns around 30,000 items where 400,000 are expected
This looks like a bug in the API. The response wrapper object has a field has_more to indicate if there are more records beyond the page you fetched. For unknown reasons has_more returns false when it ...

How do I get the number of views in the past day on a question?
As far as I know the attribute view_count is not stored each time a view for an unique IP is processed. Instead view_count is a simple counter without history.

Is there any way or script to sort questions/posts/answers with custom criteria?
No, the API has a limited number of sort options (just like the website itself). The best you can do with the API is to fetch all results and then perform a client-side sort.
Alternatively, use SEDE ...

Do my users need to be logged in, for quota?
Your app can just give them the link, and they don't need to be logged in.
The quota is a function of your API key (mainly).
Register your app and use a key and that will give you a 10K quota.
