How is the DIP cost of annexing a vassal or junior partner determined? Is it something simple like 20 DIP per base tax of the vassal, or is it a complicated formula?

It's actually 15 DIP per base tax, but there's a number of reductions. France has -10%, Austria -20%. On top of that influence gives -25%. And there's two polices as well influence/administrative is -15% and influence/plutocratic is -10%.

So the maximum boost is -40% for a monarchy, -50% for a republic or France and -60% for Austria.

If Poland has got a 2 years old heir while in Interregnum (1444 start), does that mean he's guaranteed to take the throne upon reaching maturity? Never seen that, usually it was just kings.

It's actually 20 DIP per base tax
Isn't it 15?

playing Tunisia. Spam galleys or heavies to protect against Castille?

I would always go with Galleys. Yes they're marginally weaker but a lot cheaper meaning you can pump out way more of them. With Galleys you can easily go over the FL as the cost is so small. Obviously this would change if you have lands in the Straits of Gibraltar or are allied with Morocco as Castille could land there and you would struggle to stop them. But even then if you can outnumber Castille by enough (they won't build that many heavies) it will probably be enough to prevent landings.

1) yes as long as you occupy their capitals and the war score cost is low enough
2) possibly if you declared using the heresy CB but I doubt it
3) no

What's the difference between the domestic trade power and provincial trade power bonuses?

domestic: applies only to nodes where you either have your capital (or trade port if WoN enabled) OR have the highest province trade power (includes buildings and bonuses but not fleets)
provincial: applies to any owned province

How to reduce cultural conversion cost?

The DIP power is precious

Religious ideas and 'Cultural Unity' policy (Influence-Religious). Be aware that the policy also consumes DIP, so try to do your culture conversion in bursts and only turn on the policy while you are culture-converting.

If I vassalize country A , will A' claims and cores remain in other countries?

For I wanna feed my vassal with it's claims and cores in other country.

My version is EU IV 1.73.

If you annex then release the claims will disappear but the cores will remain the usual length of time. If you diplo or force-vassal then their claims are unaffected as well.

I want to make sure whether I can force vassal other country's vassal in war.

For instance, A and B are allied, A and C form a coalition against me,
I dow to A, B and C join A to fight me.
A is their war leader.

When I do peace negotiation with A ,
can I force vassal A or A's vassal D?
can I force vassal B or B's vassal E?
can I force vassal C or C's vassal F?

A) yes (must occupy their capital)
B) yes, unless they don't allow war leader to negotiate for them (must occupy capital)
C) yes (must occupy their capital)

note that thus assumes their war score total is low enough to allow them to be force-vassalized. In all cases if another nation occupies their capital you can't make them your vassal (you can make them the occupier's vassal)

EDIT:
Did a bit of testing here:
(1): Neither Alliance, RM, or Access help.
(2): occupying a route to the sea helps
(3): once started, coring doesn't cancel itself if the prerequisite (2) ceases to exist
Yeah found out sieging a province adjacent to it is enough to core it.

Can somebody tell me how agressive expansion works on truce breaking? Which countries does effect exactly?

I've always presumed the AE decreases in a rather linear fashion based on capital-to-capital distance with other nations; haven't tested that though, just a theory.
