First, the toaster oven.

You must decide whether this will be used intermittently or continuously.
If the answer is continuously, you will have to upgrade your electrical
system so that the total maximum continuous load does not exceed 80% of the
generator capacity.  A 120 amp alternator should be sufficient.

The microwave installation would have to be certified with the avionics
package before it can be approved.  In addition, the electrical system
capacity must be as stated above.

>>1.  an advanced non-TSO engine monitoring system (EMS)?<<

Unlikely, IMHO, because these are required instruments.  You may have a
prayer if you retain the original instruments, but I doubt it would be worth
the effort.

2.  an advanced non-TSO electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) in
addition to the required seven instruments to supplement steam gauge style
previous equipment on a VFR-only aircraft?

Again, unlikely, IMHO, for the reason previously stated.  You are adding
unproven equipment in an unapproved installation which if it fails could
compromise safety of flight.

Both of the above would be permanent installations, connected to the
electrical system.

(A Gizmo installation is probably deemed permanent because when you remove
the device the mount is still in place.  Likewise the tray and wiring
harness for the afore mentioned radio.
