It's the first time I heard about a mobile wallet providing this kind of feature. It should be a primary criterion though, since several mobile wallets have been hacked because of their lack of entropy in the past. On which form could we enter entropy? Only base 6 numbers(dice) or decimal, binary and hexadecimal values are also accepted?
In bluewallet, you can generate a seed phrase with entering your own entropy manually. The entropy source can be a coin flip, a 6 sided dice roll or a 20 sided dice roll. For more information on how to create a wallet with providing manual entropy on bluewallet, click here.

But it doesn't matter, because they all predict the same, I think.
No. Since different websites may different methods for estimating halving date, they may give different dates. For example, the website you mentioned predicts the halving to be 500 days later while buybitcoinworldwide and coinmarketcap predicts it be 480 days and 522 days later, respectively.

The official Bitcoin Twitter page has given a countdown to the Bitcoin halving on what the Bitcoin market will look like in the future.
The official bitcoin twitter page? Take note that there is no official account for bitcoin on twitter, just like there is no official bitcoin website. Since bitcoin is a decentralized system, it's impossible to have an official website or an official account on social media platforms.

We can't be certain if theymos is controlling bitcointalk twitter account or not,
That's the official account of forum on twitter and is controlled by theymos. Read the old post made by him. Twitter @bitcointalk is official, but I only use it for outage notices and such.

How would you recover your wallets having lost S1 and P2 or S2 and P1?
If you have lost S1 and P2, you still have S2 and P1. If you have lost S2 and P1, you still have S1 and P2. Since S1=S2 and P1=P2, you actually have the seed phrase and passphrase of your single-sig wallet and you can easily recover it.

Some times Electrum ETA give wrong calculation of fee too which I personally experienced multiple times so I am practicing the habit of checking current fee for next block in Mempool space before choosing the fee on Electrum.
The problem is that there is no way to calculate how much you should pay as transaction fee, so your transaction is confirmed in a certain time. When you broadcast your transaction, you don't know what will happen to the mempool in the next minutes or hours and that's why you can only estimate the required fee rate. Since different tools may use different methods for estimation of required fee rate, it's completely normal that they give you different estimations.

Using Electrum as suggested above is the best option because you can manually input the fees even if it's 2 sat/vB which at this moment it cost $0.05.
There is no way to know the total fee without knowing the transaction size and you can't say 2 sat/vbyte is equivalent to $0.05. For example, if you have 100 legacy inputs and 2 outputs and set the fee rate to 2 sat/vbyte, you have to pay around 30,000 satoshi as transaction fee. That would be around 5 dollars.

You are correct, but personally, i am assuming that before a tournament is open is open to the public to bet on, there us usually a certain amount of odd the casino divide between the two teams equally, then from there, the betting starts.
Freebitco is using parimutuel betting system and the house has no role in determining the odds. The odds are determined by the users and it's not that the house increase/decrease the odds. The odds depend on the total money that has been bet on each of outcomes and the time weight multiplier. Note that there is no way to calculate the odds before betting is closed and that's why the odds shown in the website are just estimations.

Actual winning odds, which will be calculated after betting ends for this event, depend on the total number (amount) of bets on each side.
To be more accurate, the final odds will depend on the total money that has been bet on each of outcomes, not the number of bets. Assuming 100 people each have bet 0.01 BTC on team A and 1 person has bet 1 BTC on team B, the odds would be the same for teams A and B. The odds depend on when you made your bet as well.

If i find the wallet i could recover it with the phrase. But I dont know which wallet I installed (Bitcoin Core...)
If you have a seed phrase, it's not bitcoin core. Bitcoin core doesn't support seed phrase at all. Most wallets use the BIP39 standard for generating seed phrase. We have also electrum which uses its own algorithm for generating seed phrase and supports importing BIP39 seed phrase as well. Download electrum from its official website, verify your download, create a new wallet and select "Standard wallet" and then "I already have a seed". Enter your seed phrase and see if it allows you to click on "Next" button. If the next button is grayed out, click on "Options" and select "BIP39". If you see a message saying '"BIP39 (checksum: ok)", click on Next".

It used to be like this, but today if this happens the transaction and the block containing it will be rejected as invalid.
But we can still have a block including a transaction with the same ID as an existing transaction, if the existing transaction has been fully spent. Right? I know the chance of that happening is almost zero.

The thing is that the network will accept only the first coinbase transaction in the block (which HAS to be the first transaction). Everything else is invalid from a protocol standpoint, even if two coinbase transactions are included in a block.
I think OP is talking about two coinbase transactions with the same ID in two different blocks, not in the single block. In theory, it's possible that a block includes a transaction with the same ID as an existing transaction if the existing transaction has been fully spent. Whether it's a coinbase transaction or a normal transfer, there's nothing prevent network from accepeting such a transaction. Before implementation of BIP30, a block could include a transaction with the same ID as an existing transaction, even if the existing transaction had been unspent.

But what did happen before this BIP? Two coinbase transactions with the same txid, it's a collision. How to save two coinbase vouts into leveldb and how to spend one of them if they have the same txid?
With BIP34, it's very very unlikely that two coinbase transactions have the same ID, but in theory it's still possible that two transactions have the same transaction ID. If a transaction has the same ID as an existing transaction, the second one would replace the first one and there wouldn't be any way to spend the fund received in the first one. See blocks number 91,722 and 91,880. The coinbase transactions in these two blocks have the same ID. The person who received the block reward on block number 91,722 can't spend it. The solution to this problem was BIP30. According to BIP30, a block can't include a transaction with the same ID as a not-fully-spent transaction.

The Txid is just the hash of the raw transaction data that is encoded in binary.
To be more accurate, the transaction hash is calculated by hashing the transaction data through SHA256 function twice. Yeah, I know that. But I'm interested in why hash of tx data of one miner always different?
According to BIP34, the coinbase transaction must contain the block height. Before implementation of BIP34, it was possible to duplicate a coinbase transaction.

I never use a Trust wallet for BTC transactions but since the wallet is acquired some months ago by Binance there's a chance that the wallet does request high transactions because Binance is known for doing this to increase their purse.
Binance acquired trustwallet around four years ago and note that they get nothing from transaction fees. All the fee you pay for making transaction on trustwallet goes to miners. I will advise you to import the private keys using the electrum wallet, verify the wallet before using and make use of the manual fees option. Instead of just importing the wallet into electrum, it would be better to create a new wallet on electrum and send all the fund to that. Also note that trustwallet allow you to adjust the fee rate manually too.

I'm still hostile to believe that it will be the case for closed source for having backdoors, or malicious codes.
Since there is no way to know whether a close source wallet has been coded properly or not, I would always consider the worst case scenario and avoid any close source wallet. Everything is possible. A good example is coinomi. Coinomi has been always a popular wallet and considered safe by many people, but it had a vulnerability sending users seed phrase to google servers.

When you use multiple inputs in a single transaction, there are all combined together. It doesn't make sense to say which of the inputs has paid the transaction fee and which of them has been sent to the recipient(s).
May I ask what you are trying to achieve?

When I put open /Users/jwiraj99/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin into terminal, it says it does not exist.
I am not familiar with Mac. I just guess that your library folder may be hidden. I actually realized that I never even created a private key. All I did was create a wallet, name the wallet, and then create an address to receive bitcoin from the exchange. Does that change anything?
You have a generated a private key as well. The address you got and sent bitcoin to has been generated from a private key. That private key can be easily exported if you can open your wallet.

If i dont have a wallet.dat, is there a chance my wallet would still be accessible without a private key if I just redownload bitcoin core?
As you have created a wallet, you should have a wallet.dat. Click here to know the default location of bitcoin core data directory. If you neither have the wallet.dat nor the private key, there won't be any way to recover the fund.
