Question1: What do you recommend to read pdf files?
xpdf is unfortunately not anymore so minimal, it installs as dependency

May not be the first things that spring to mind, but depending on what you need
to do, both Firefox and Emacs are perfectly serviceable PDF readers. Neither
are particularly “minimal,” of course—but at least in my case, I was going to
have them installed anyway.
I use Librewolf because zathura-pdf-mupdf seems to not work so well
(zathura with the mupdf backend). Librewolf is just what I have
installed as a web browser, and it is terrific at web browsing, but as
far as I know it can only access ~/.mozilla and its Downloads folder
because of pledge/unveil, so it can be slightly annoying to use it as a
general e-reader.
