I would use the eArc for your Apple Box and use an optical cable to connect from the TV to the Beam.
Integration in HA is available. Alarm clock can be realised with some programming effort (YAML).

I would not recommend this. The Sonos Beam achieves the best surround sound when it is placed freely, without objects that interfere with the sound (to the front, left, right and above). I would recommend the wall bracket and hanging the Beam on the wall above the TV if necessary. Alternatively, you can also use a bracket for mounting on the TV. As far as I know, it is not possible to reverse the drivers.

The Sonos Beam Gen 2 can be combined with the Sonos Ikea Symfonisk speakers, but there are some limitations when using it as a surround speaker for TV sound. - Only speakers of the same model can be used as surround speakers. Therefore, the Symfonisk lamps or bookshelf speakers cannot be directly connected to the Beam Gen 2 as surround speakers. - However, if you use two identical Symfonisk speakers (e.g. two bookshelf speakers or two lamps), you can use them as surround speakers in a Sonos home cinema system, but they must be paired with another Sonos speaker of the same type, not directly with the Beam Gen 2. For an optimal TV sound experience, you should therefore use two identical speakers of the same model.

No, only one power cable is included

Yes, in the end this is of course subjective, but sonos also has a speech mode when watching TV programmes, which can be combined with a night mode. (The latter filters out loud sounds (usually sounds that overlay speech). I think both functions are great on their own and combined, I think they should even be suitable for very sensitive people.

All Sonos speakers, Ikea symfonisk supposedly also works (Sonos technology)

needed an even longer one - this works perfectly: Delock HDMI Type A - HDMI Type A (10 m, HDMI)
You have landed here at the question sector, but I would rather put your statement at the evaluations...
I can't answer the technical questions, but it's all roughly similar for me. I have the Beam Bar and the Sub Mini (completely sufficient, it doesn't need more than the Mini) and I'm still absolutely happy. In the reviews you also read that the Beam Bar is better than ARC. I can only say that the sound is top and voice commands work perfectly. Only the complete setup of the Sonos app took me a little time, but it's worth it.
Unfortunately, I don't have any other idea, but I had a Sony in the past where I had big problems with additional speakers where there was no solution. I now have 2 Samsung with Sonos Beam Gen 2 and no problems. Sorry for you (Have you tried the app from your phone?).
Nothing is connected to the beam. It is connected to the tv via hdmi eARC and the blu-Ray player is also connected directly to the tv via hdmi. The TV then internally forwards the signal from the player to the beam. Actually self-explanatory and easy
The HDMI cable is 1.5 m long
According to our information, this would only be possible if you transmit the sound via jack plug or ARC from the beamer to the Sonos. As far as we know, this is not possible wirelessly via Google Home.

Yes that's enough, have a 10 year old Sony Bravia with ARC, runs flawlessly
Yes, it works! The delay is minimal. Solution: Mute the TV speaker and set the volume to zero.
Hi, the power cable length is 1.90 m
It's okay. I have a Beam in the room (without sub). In the living room I have the Arc (with sub). Of course, there is a big difference. If a perfect sound experience is really important to you, I recommend the Arc + Sub. Otherwise, the Beam alone is completely sufficient.
Basically, the Beam now has the same functions as the Arc. The Arc simply has more drivers and power. If you only want the soundbar, then I would go for the Arc. But if you add a sub, the Beam should be enough. The price is not much higher than the Arc. It also depends on how you want to use the system. Do you only want to watch soap operas or do you also want to watch films with a lot of power or "feel" music?
Sonos beam 2 is perfectly adequate, unless you are a super freak with demands like sitting in a concert yourself.
Partially possible via scenes in the Home app. The Beam 2 can do Airplay. But not the Play 1. It then participates in the group with the Beam, for example (in the Sonos App) or the 2x Play 1 are integrated as rear speakers with the Beam. Dolby Atmos requires eARC Hdmi on the TV. In my setup, I have ARC Hdmi, Beam 2, 2x Play 1 as rear LP and the SUB. It sounds great even as it is. eARC HDMI is only available on the new TVs from around 2020. Have fun
