Is there a reason to help with a crusade and get control over jerusalem? Or is there anything special you can do while in control of jerusalem?
That is very existential question. Holy Land should be purified from infidels. DEUS VULT!
Do you really need any other reasons? OK - the more land you have, the better
No, apart from getting one or two orders as vassals when king of Jerusalem.
Is normal to see that ugly, slightly-squared shapes in the Caspian sea coast when I zoom out the map too much?
How do I reduce decadence for an Islamic empire if I've already conquered most non-Muslim territories?
My only neighboring potential enemies left are other Islamic empires, and warring with them does not reduce decadence. I'm playing as the Hispania empire, stretched out to the Levant (past south east Byzantium). Everything to the north, west, and south of Jerusalem is part of my empire or another Islamic empire. My closest non-Islamic potential enemies are far away in India, where my army's supply limit is too low to win any war.

1. Find a non-Islamic character and grant him a kingdom with all lower titles (make sure to check that checkbox) somewhere in the middle of your empire where the other Muslims can't reach him, then grant him independence.
2. Wait until the truce expires. If the character has a non-Islamic heir you can speed things up by assassinating the Christian king you created.
3. If you are caliph declare a jihad for the kingdom. Otherwise fight a series of holy wars.

My Duke/King Liege died and, the moment the new liege came to power, he usurped my main county and now controls it. How did this happen? Do I not get a chance to refuse and fight him, like with revoking?
(Fortunately, I have a big stack of cash to hire mercenaries to take it right back)

Depends on the succession. If, somehow the primary (and only) county level title of the king is lost, they will randomly take a title from a random vassal, without their consent. That usually happens as a result of the liege losing a holy war.
Looking into it, I see that the new King was installed by faction demand.
Following on from what you have said, what I think might have happened is this. There are four counties in the duchy I am in. Two were controlled by me, one was controlled by the Duke - my liege, who became King - and the last county by a vassal Count.
So, if the King was ousted by faction demand, someone else became king and took the capital county of the kingdom, which is in my duchy. The usurped king was still a duke, but now had no counties in his duchy, or even a duchy at all, and therefore automatically usurped and took control of one of my mine - my main one.
Possible?
Now I have a new problem.
My Count died from wounds sustained in battle while leading his mercenary army trying to reclaim my main county. So the war ended. I still have my mercenary army, so I disbanded my levies and exited enemy territory. The new Count does not have the option to declare war for a claim on the county that was recently lost, only for a war of liberation, to free myself from the duke's vassalage.
Why can't the son of the guy who just got his main title usurped and died in battle trying to reclaim it continue the war to reclaim it? Will I have to fabricate a claim on the county?
"Possible"
Yes, that can happen. It's pretty hard to outright "remove" a landed character from the map short of a Crusade scale Holy War.
As for the Count not having a claimant. That's because the title wasn't "usurped" via either conquest or title revocation. The title was lost because the liege still had vassals, but no land, and as a result took the capital. It falls into a weird grey area, but if the claim wasn't able to be inherited by the successor, you'd need to make a claim on the title to take it, yes.
If you kept the title you (obviously) would've passed down the title. If you lost the title due to "legalisim" or any reason to have it revoked, the claim is strong and inheritable by the successor. If you lost it due to conquest, the same holds true. The way the game handles that specific case is as though you granted back the title, clearing your claim.
What happens if I grant an empire to a vassal (or somebody else in my realm)? I see there is no viceroyalty for empires.
Does it exit out of my realm? Or are the granted empires also a vassal?
If it exits out of the realm, isn't it a good idea to destroy the title of said empire(s) so random vassals won't hold negative opinions for wanting said empires?

If you grant an Empire title to a vassal, they'll become independent and take a big chunk of the empire with them.
When destroying an Empire title, you get a prestige and opinion with the de jure vassals malus (-800 for an Empire I suppose, and -40 opinion for 10 years). You'll also lose the +0.8 prestige per month and the dynasty prestige due to this Empire.

I don't know how the merchant republic trade posts stuff interacts with the SR trade stuff because I have neither Horse Lords nor Jade Dragon, but as a merchant republic I can build the trade buildings. I definitely get the bonus to retinue size and see the holding get more garrison and better fortification.
How big control over our religion do we have? Can we create holy orders also? or are we stuck with the holy orders that is in game?
Not much control. You cannot create holy orders, although not all holy orders start out available. In general, Catholism gets 5 holy orders (usually around the time they start calling crusades), and all other major faiths get one, with pagans having to reform before getting theirs (Zoroastrians and Jews also have to restore their priesthood/rebuild the temple to get theirs, IRC). Heresies don't get any, until they become bigger than the parent religion, at which point the holy orders will switch from the parent religion to them.
Following on from my question on the previous page...
When I retook the county that my duke liege taken from me (without me having the opportunity to resist), he instantly took the county of the other vassal count in the duchy as his own.
So what is going on here? If a duke has no counties in his duchy, he is able to immediately seize the county of a vassal of his without their consent and without opportunity to resist?
This would have the potential to instantly end one's game? If I had not had a second county, it would have been game over for me when the duke seized my primary county, and there would have been nothing I could do about it.
I'm playing with half-demesne rules, which may make such episodes more likely to happen.
