As far as I know Caffeine still works, you just need to manually enable it in Preferences.app (I remember getting it to work on Mojave, but my MacBook has been on a shelf collecting dust since I updated it to Catalina two months ago)

You can replace Caffeine with Amphetamine.

I don't know. My library has since switched to the Tolino app.

And since most of my pro audio apps also stopped working on OS X and the USB dongle works the same with Windows and Mac, I myself also abandoned OS X for productive work.
