If I pay 100 diplo-points to accept a culture and later I form a new nation that automatically accepts those cultures
That's not how you get automatic acceptance in the first place. Automatic acceptance applies to cultures in your own culture group, and happens when you reach 1000 development (without the relevant DLC) or gain Empire government rank (with the relevant DLC).
-will I get the diplo-points back?
No.
-and will I get the slot for another promoted culture back?
You're supposed to... but I think there's a bug.

Also,
-If I have territorial cores on all provinces I need to form a specific nation, when I take the decision to form it, will all the territorial cores made into states without me paying admin-points?
No.

So, if I form the netherlands I do not automatically get 'flamish' as accepted culture, because I dont have 1000 dev? (so half of my new country does not collect tax efficiently)

Many country formation decisions give you empire rank without a dev requirement, but I'm not sure that the Netherlands is one of those. It should say on the tooltip whether it changes your rank or not.

How long would it take to integrate Spain after an PU? I've had my dynasty on the Spanish throne for nearly 200 years, but didn't have the opportunity to actually claim it. I'm nearing the 1700's and am wondering if I can ever get it or that it would be too late. So I'm actually looking for the latest date on which to PU Spain so they can be integrated. It's a pretty normal Spain, with the Iberian and Italian lands, with a foothold in Morocco and a couple of very large colonies. Integrated a large Russia once, but that took nearly 100 years so with the 50 year waiting time it might already be too late.
Also I wondered if it is WAD when you have a queen recency for a young heir with a weak claim, that I can't claim the throne cause 'not same dynasty' while the heir is of my dynasty but the queen regent is not.

you can likely start integrating spain in 1810, and still finish integrating them, if you own admin+influence+diplomatic and stacked dip rep. On admin eff 3, they will likely be less then 1000 to integrate. And you can easily integrate at 7-10 a month, making spain integrate in 100 months or less, aka 7-10 years. if you don't have the reduction to vassal annexation cost, then 1780 or '90 should be safe.

Point being: Do NOT integrate PU subjects before 1750. EVER. They are best possible subjects, and should only be integrated on admin efficiency 3, after 1750. Before 1750, integrate small vassals, but NOT the PU. Especially if its colonizer PU. You can let them colonize for you and integrate them lategame, and you get all their CN.

as for your second question: I pointed this 'problem' out to the devs, and got 'we will evaluate the rule' as response, meaning they see consort regent leading dynasty change as 'working as designed'. But, 'throne claim' does not get lost on consort regency for weak claim heir, but it gets blocked due to the wrong consort leading dynasty if you did NOT claim throne before it. that might be buggy. never really tried this for myself, but it does sound weird.

If I lose a government rank (or two ;) ) due to some event like joining the HRE, this reduces the maximum amount of states. What happens with the states that I created but are now exceeding the reduced limit of maximum allowed states? Will states be removed until I am not exceeding the limit? If yes, in what order and will I lose the full-core on them, turning them back into territorial cores?

If i lose Empire rank, will I lose my Cultural Union or will the CU stay forever once I gained it?

you lose it. best example: you lose CU if you add capital to HRE as outside hre emperor. and then you tumble into duchy, and lose CU.

How do inheritances work without forming a personal union? I have Burgundy as part of my Dynasty for several centuries now, but never had the opportunity to inherit their lands upon their monarch's death.

I'm playing as Spain (formed by Aragon) and plan to claim Portugal's throne. We have same dynasty and I have already pressed Claim Throne button. I have dissolved alliance and truce has expired. I am #1 GP with Portugal as #8 who is allied to #2 England and Utrecht. I also have alliance with #6 GP Persia and a tiny Palatinate. England also has a PU over Muscovy.

1) What is the likelihood of AI GPs joining war on my side if I decide to not call in Persia? Would a rival ever join a war with a rival just to fight against another rival? Commonwealth has rivaled me and England, however I would love it if they would join my side. Does AI just look at the primary war leader on each side (ie Portugal in this case)?

2) Any estimate on amount of AE I would generate if I do win throne? Continental Portugal has about 190 development. My main concern is that a coalition has just triggered for me, primarily of Sunni nations lead by Ottos, and I don't want to add any Euros to the mix. Main concern is that England is added which could cause some headaches. They are still Catholic and have Labourd/Bordeaux provinces which gives them some proximity to the Iberia region. My AE in Europe is pretty much nil except for 1PM France :D

So huge Spain has a large Commonwealth under a PU. Can I cancel that via war and how much war score would I need? Any other strategies for getting them to break away? LD is at 0%.

Doubtful you can break union unless there is some type of special CB that I'm missing. In my recent game I was fighting England that had Muscovy under PU. It cost 400% war score to break union in a separate peace. I think the best thing to do in your spot is to weaken Spain and minimize damage to Commonwealth and see if you can jack up their liberty desire.
