Hi,
First of all, congratulations on your purchase and welcome to iMore.
I'll try to give answers to some of your questions, based on my personal experiences. I'm not a Google user, by choice, so I won't be able to help you there at all.
I hope this helps a little

You can swipe up before it's finished unlocking. It will bypass the Lock Screen.
It's there so that you can quickly look at your notifications, without going to the Home Screen and having to go the Notification Centre.

On the Apple keyboard, you can remove the Emoji button by removing the Emoji keyboard.
To do so, you go into
Settings,
General,
Keyboards and
Keyboards again. Then you edit the list and remove the keyboard.
If you want to revert it, you can add the keyboard back again.

Not that I know of (with the Apple keyboard). Other keyboards might have that setting.

That's the keyboard switcher. To remove it, you must have only and only one keyboard enabled in the settings (see answer 2).
My understanding is that this would disable the Gboard keyboard.

For the previous 24 hours, you can find it inside your
Settings app, choose
Battery. It will be listed below the graphs.

Two methods that quickly come to mind:
- Your apps will have a red badge to indicate "notifications" (or items requiring attention), if you have that setting allowed for the app (see the app's page within the Settings app).
- Swipe down from the left side of the notch. This will bring down the Notification Centre; swipe up to dismiss.

The "Swipe to Answer" is today a nod to iPhone's past. It will show up when a call is received while the phone is locked.
To unlock older iPhones, I think until the iPhone 5 or maybe later, we had to swipe right to unlock the device. So it was consistent with unlock behaviour.
The two button variation occurs when the phone is unlocked (unsure if it will appear on the unlocked Lock Screen). I can't remember it always was like that or not.
