You can now publish your Google Site at a custom URL, with SSL, and it even works without a redirect.
Publish your Google Site and make it visible to the public (under Share options, set it to 'Anyone can find and view'). As long as the Google Site is not public, it will still redirect to a sites.google.com/* address.

Short answer
There isn't a global setting for comments in Google Sites, so the comments should be disabled page by page.
Extended answer
You could disable the comments option page by page manually. Unfortunately looks that there isn't a method to do this automatically by using Google Apps Script.
To avoid this problem in the future, create a page template ...

At this time Google Sites app doesn't include a way to set URL redirection.
It's worth to note that JavaScript could not be used for URL redirection as it only could be added by using the HTML Box gadget or by a Google Apps Script web app but they are included inside iframes and could satinized.

The Picasa Album embed is very old and not development is happening on the Picasa side anymore. Eventually Google Photos might roll out a album embed but they have announced no such plans.
In the meantime I would recommend looking at the community built Picasa album web component. You can see an example of your album which you would obviously want to host ...

var content = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url).getContentText("UTF-8");

What is the maximum number of pages allowed on a Google Site?
From the Google Help document you reference, it states:
Pages per site: No set limit (see note below)
By thousands, do they mean 1000 or 10000 or somewhere in between?
I would interpret "thousands of pages" as somewhere in between 1,000 and 10,000. More than 10,000 pages and it would be "...

You can use a web crawler/scraper like HTTrack or wget to download your entire website as a folder of HTML, CSS, image, and other files.
Once you've got your website downloaded, you can commit and push all of those files to a GitHub repository and set up GitHub Pages to serve that repository as a website.
You might also need to fix some links and ...

A web site hosted in a web site hosting service can't be transferred directly to Google Sites as it's not a "regular" web site hosting service ( host html, image, css, javascript, etc. files), but you you could transfer the content and some code.

Google Sites doesn't include a built in function to help to create and maintain sites with multiple localization. The only related built-in feature is for setting the site language, but it only is able to set one language.
It's worth to say that you could automate some actions by using Google Apps Script.

In Google sites it's not possible to upload your own HTML or view any of the FTP tree the only way to edit/create pages is through the built in editor . But there are many alternatives out there.

Google Sites doesn't include a feature to set a page order that is site wide. The order is set on each component, if this is available.

I don't know the ordering sequence for Google Sites but the basic principle I would suggest is to build in a lot of 'redundancy' from the start, but for convenience in a compact form. Say you have three pages to start with, then something like:
E5 M5 V5
and if 26 pages you might use the entire alphabet. The numbers would allow you to slot in five extra ...

To be able to reuse a site URL, the original site should be deleted permanently first. To make that this be applied to all the Google Servers could take a while, so wait few hours, better, one or two days.

That's not possible I'm afraid with the API used. The API that's being used doesn't allow for more (basic) info to be retrieved.
There's however a new API released under Google Apps Script that can help you out:

This allows for much more tweaking !!

In your Admin Console, under Company Profile, Select "Custom URL's"
Make changes as you see fit.
Yes, it will say http://sites.example.com (or whatever you decide)
If you also have "Enable SSL" set in Security | Basic Settings, then users will be taken to the HTTPS: site pages (others too).
