Yes, the tripod legs can be adjusted in length and angle as needed to adapt to various terrains, including uneven ground and steps.

Just about. However I feel that if it’s planets you’re going to be looking at, then you perhaps would want something more stable and less light weight. The tripod is lightweight and very portable so if these things are important then yes it will work.

No. I bought it based on the claim that it would support the weight, but it doesn't. However, i have found that if I don't try to use the cantilevered function, but just use the height of the combined tripod and arm (straight up) and the ball joint holding the binoculars, I have more than enough height to see anything up to about 75 degrees comfortably. In the video, the eyepieces are at 6', and there is easily another foot of extension available.

it could work with hunting optics as long as the hunting optics have a 1/4 screw mount.
