Try getting a used server. You can find one on labgopher. For the budget you have, don’t expect something great but it’ll be a start.

Makes sense. Don’t cross the streams.
I get passwords. Why not bookmarks?
It’s like Ligma but different
That makes sense. I’m a lazy guy and I didn’t want to try testing so I went with a known quantity.
You should take a look at getting sas enclosures. They’re pretty cheap, like $200 for a 16 bay. That will be so much more reliable.
Yes.
Fairly accurate except that Wine predates Codeweavers. They do contribute to Wine but Codeweavers did not make Wine.
Here’s my advice. The most important things are that you have a free GPU slot and another PCIE slot on whatever you get. You’re going to want a GPU for transcoding when disk space gets tight. You want the extra PCIE slot for a sas card. Disk shelves are surprisingly cheap, and you can keep adding disk that way. They daisy chain.
As far as the OS, I’m partial to Unraid and Truenas but seriously, anything you are comfortable with will work.
I think BF hits most of these.
Yeah, the UI is a bit clunky. I like Any stream much better, and there is Linux support.
They’re good apps. I recommend getting it if it’s more that a few things you want to download.
The idea that Linux is not susceptible to malware is a really dumb take, in my opinion. I work in security and see Linux machines get popped all the time. Also, wine is good enough that malware will run under it.
