comment Sorting swedish index with makeidx correctly
It's not an easy problem as sorting Swedish correctly requires either dedicated Swedish support in the tool or, as it increasingly common, real UTF-8 support. In fact this isn't quite enough either as the tool needs to support CLDR tailoring of the Unicode Collation algorithm as this is needed to sort Swedish correctly. biblatex+biber can do this for Swedish in bibliography sorting as it supports UTF-8 plus CLDR but for indexing, xindy, as far as I know, uses its own custom modules and doesn't support a real Unicode Collation algorithm.

comment biblatex-apa: Author's first name is repeated in brackets
Also, I'd like to add that turning uniquename off is not APA compliant. It's better to make sure your .bib knows which authors are actually the same by using initials or full names.

comment biblatex is ignoring maxcitenames
Yes, it's always better to modify the default styles. Specialist styles like APA have some very tricky requirements which have to be coded into the style and are therefore not easy or impossible to change with standards biblatex package options. In fact I have added some such options to the package for some simple cases but after all, it's an APA style so adding options to make it non-APA compliant becomes suspect after a while ...

comment Using BibTool with BibLaTeX, again
What exactly are you trying to do? biber has a "tool" mode now which can output .bib instead of .bbl - this allows you to (re)encode, change entries with complex remapping etc. and then output a .bib based on the changes. It's a bit more semantic than bibtool as the changes are based on an internal data model instead of the syntax of a raw file.

comment BibLatex Cite Primary Source Within Book
This is best done with "related entries" using the RELATED* fields. See the biblatex doc and the related entries example file which comes with biblatex. If you do it this way (which requires biber) the primary and secondary sources each have their own entries which means they can be used/reused in other ways by other entries or cited on their own etc.

comment Improving a workflow for importing BibTeX citations
You might also consider switching to biblatex+biber as biber can open remote .bib data sources directly with no importing or downloading at all.

comment Best practice: define BibLateX/BibTeX entry with title in native language and in English
Just to note that we are working on a multi-lingual major update to biblatex/biber which will allow you to specify multiple language/script variants of fields in the same entry. This is a lot of work but is progressing quite well so far.

comment Biblatex: 2 custom fields, only one is working
Just a couple of comments - you can omit skipout=false as this is the default. Also, you need \DeclareDatamodelEntryfields{mynote} too. This declares "mynote" as valid for all entrytypes and the macro you mentioned defines its type.
