AFAIK there is no netflix app on linux and browser playback is limited to 720p. And if you’re looking to avoid your TVs bloated, ad-ridden spyware OS I see no point in using microsoft’s bloated, ad-ridden spyware OS instead.

If you’re going through all that work, try an alternate launcher.

It won’t Adblock anything inside apps, just like on phones … there is no magic.

It blocks ads on phones inside apps if you use DNS ad blocking.

YouTube app is not possible to block ads . You need to access YouTube with a mobile internet browser that support plugins . Like Firefox in android and safari in iOS .

Yes, but that’s a special case and related to how the ads are served from the same servers as video content.

AdGuard will block banners, splash screens etc in apps as any other DNS service and not as stated generally not work in apps.
