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.

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.)

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 q parameter allows most of the Advanced Search Options.
For example, this will ...

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 to get all questions with a specific tag between certain dates
Yes, you need to page through the results. See the doc page on paging.
So, you would probably want to set the max pagesize(100) and then make a sequence of calls. EG:
