I can answer a some those. Have family members who are teachers, friends who work with youth, etc and this whole thing comes up a lot.
I've used your numbering system to organize answers.
2. Less than previous generations.
There's simply far less places that will let kids just hang out.
Until a certain age its likely CPS will be called and police will be involved if your kids are out exploring, and after that age said kids hanging out is deemed antisocial and undesirable... So private security or the police hassle them.
3a-b: some the same, some different. Underage drinking/smoking/fucking is down, illicit drug use is down somewhat, but smoking's been replaced by vapes, and the drugs are different - often pharmaceuticals (real or counterfeit) such as xanax, etc.
Actual antisocial behavior is way down, but perceived antisocial behavior is up. Behaviours that previously were deemed largely benign (kids hanging out) are deemed unwanted. As per answer 2.
4a-d: the kids tend to be significantly more "tolerant" than previous generations. Make of that what you will.
5a-c: yes? They are still curious as all fuck, but work ethic is a funny animal.
Most traditional avenues for teenagers to "work" (outside of academics) are being closed off due to labour rules, liability, etc.
So a lot of younger people try make money online, have some kind of hustle. This ranges across the board of legality, morality, etc. Be it flipping clothes on Depop, dubious schemes involving dropshipping or selling knockoff designer gear online, selling artwork/crafts, trying to become an influencer/streamer/whatever... There's massive pressure to try monetize any hobby.
Resilience? Its teenagers. Some are hard as nails, some are drips.
