Re: Projected curve: Error regenerating
Great first step on "de-bugging" this projected curve issue.
The last image you sent makes it easy to visualize why the feature is not working. The projected curve uses the intersection of those 2 surfaces to generate the curve.
The issue is that, in your case, the intersection does not create one continuous curve. This can be visualized by trying to Split one surface with the other, as shown below. I recommend doing this operation in stages so you can avoid these overlaps.

Re: Is it possible to get the length of all the outer edges of a face?
Through UI - right-click, "create selection" (select face and outer edge)
With FeatureScript, use qAdjacent

Re: Big Letters
It looks like you zoomed in your whole browser window. Click the little magnifying glass icon in the chrome address bar, then click "reset".
Re: Blind hole doesn't show on drawing, but through-hole does
Also, your view in the drawing is the opposite side of the part.
If you project to the side you're showing in the model, then you would see your hole
Right clicking the view should give you the context menu for hidden lines. Double click is a short cut for view properties

Re: Is it possible to use design an element or structure with Onshape?
Would Swift Calcs be an option for you? It's available in the Onshape app store:

Years ago, I used MathCAD to document the design criteria and calculations for a small pressure vessel and our pressure safety people were satisfied with that form of documentation. It looks like SwiftCalcs could be used similarly but would integrate better with Onshape than MathCAD would..

Re: Moving sketches within the same plane
In the video, it looks like you're using the "body" transform tool. If you open up your sketch first, there is a "sketch" transform tool that'll do what you're looking for.

YOU SAID —
I'd like to use it in the first sheet of a set of drawings for the project. Is that possible?

The answer is yes it’s possible.
In the document below, in the Part Studio, I had various dimensions and the part showing, then I took a screenshot. I then imported the screenshot into the document, and then brought it into the drawing
