I'm pretty sure that it only supports xci. It supports trimmed ROMs as well
The switch is not booting normally because of AutoRCM. You are no longer seeing the SX OS menu because it automatically boots the Switch into CFW when your license is activated. In order to allow the Switch to boot normally, you must remove AutoRCM. To do that, you need to boot into the SX OS menu. Simply hold volume + while sending the SX Loader payload and it will pop up. Then uninstall AutoRCM. Now your Switch will be able to boot back nornmally.
While there is no fix, if they have a GitHub page, it might be worth reporting the error there to let the developer know there is a problem with their software in the hopes they can fix it in a future update.
Factory resets do not actually fully clear the console, contrary to popular belief. There is currently no known method for completely wiping the Switch of all traces of hacks. So far, I would say the best option is keeping a NAND dump prior to performing any sort of homebrew or hacks but if you have not done so already and used any sort of homebrew/hacks, then it is too late and you will have to wait to see if the community can come up with something.

Keep it in airplane mode with SX os. There's no surefire way to avoid a ban, but staying In airplane mode helps. I would stop buying secondhand games just to stay safe
We're not allowed to share rom links here, but a simple Google search can help you
Not yet no
So far I haven't been banned while being in airplane mode when running TX OS, and I even re enabled internet and went to the eshop while on OFW, still no ban. I don't think many TX OS users have been banned as of now, most bans seemed to have happened to those using the LayeredFS method. But the ban-wave against TX OS might come later, and no one knows whether you will be save by staying in airplane mode. Only time will tell. Right now, do all you can to minimize the risk of ban.
Google is your friend. Literally the first result you find with the most basic search is what you're looking for.
I don't think so, right now dumps only work with physical carts.
I know it does, I've seen the way to dump and patch kernels for 4.X but PRAGMA hasn't updated his thread to stating support firmwares 4.X and 5.X, it still says 5.X only. That's why I wasn't sure if his files included the proper tools to boot LayeredFS on 4.1.
In terms of warmboot softmods, there is none as 2.3 and 3.0 will have access to the same exploit at the same time. Updating to 3.0 will require a game cartridge, either a physical one or a scene dump that will not be provided here for obvious reasons.
As long as the posts here are all properly answered on a timely basis, that means one less thread for every question which makes GBATemp look less cluttered and more organized. That's the only satisfaction I need. Also, yes backup your NAND. That step should always be the first step whenever playing around with hacks. Better to be safe than sorry.
Technically it won't but RCM looks identical to a Switch that is fully powered off so while you may believe it is fully turned off, it may in fact be in RCM which not only does drain battery but has a reduced charge rate when AutoRCM is installed. One thing worth trying is to perform a manual shutdown with your Switch as opposed to using the menu to ensure the Switch is fully turned off. This is done by holding the power button for 12 or so seconds.
