I installed my LVP and to get the warranty you have to meet the manufacturers requirements. I bought a waterproof tile with padding built into the bottom and thus didnt need a moisture barrier. But, if I had it in a basement, I would have put one down due to moisture content In conjunction with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Most flooring will have a phone number for support, call them, its free.

I did some googling, and I didn't find anything prohibiting it. There's a discussion here about the subject, and the general consensus is "If it's GFI protected, go for it"

A lot of kitchen sinks have outlets and switches underneath to operate the garbage disposals. So I think it'll be OK.

I'm not an electrician, so take my advice with a grain of salt. But I'd be comfortable with it in my home. I'd use a GFI outlet (or two in series for extra safety) and position the outlet box where it won't get soaked if the sink overflows. For extra points I could use an outdoor rated box. But that feels like overkill to me.

I am not a fan of those (at least in my climate) it traps moisture inside the brickwork causing the heads of the stones to crack and eventually fall off in harsh winter. Brickwork should have one damp open side at all times. If the damp open space is the inside of a house, the solution should be ventilation.

I don't have the pinout to hand, but it's fairly moot as you would need to move the BMS from the old battery to the new. Unless it handshakes, it won't receive power. Microsoft surfaces don't like receiving power at all without the BMs connected
