The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

Not necessarily. A low network hash rate means it's easy to do a 51% attack on the chain and fork off. No dev can prevent that, but a good project will have lots of hash power, making forking the chain much harder. Sometimes it's caused by bugs in the wallet, which a good dev team can prevent.

Are there any algos that can survive a %51 attack if the coin has a low has rate?

no can do
pos and other consensus can provide a better solution for this attack but even they are susceptible
