1. That is something that is badly needed, however I don't know if there is a bigger battery in the form factor that the Pinephone uses. (I know you said Pinephone Pro but that uses the same battery.) An example of this is a friend gave me an old Galaxy Nexus running CyanogenMod. (I use it just as a camera.) It has a removable 1850 mA battery as standard. However it also has an optional 3800 mA battery, thicker, that otherwise fits where the smaller battery goes. A modified back cover fits over the battery. Something like this would be great for the Pinephone if it were feasible. Battery life is probably the worst downside right now. It's not too bad for me because I leave the phone off most of the time but when I do use it the battery depletes pretty rapidly.
2. I bought a standalone charger that can work with just about any size removable phone battery.
3. There is a "Sound Recorder" application in Mobian. I have not tried it and do not know if it is just a standalone recorder for making notes etc. or if it can record calls.
4. If you set up sshd you can ssh into the phone to get to the command line. You can also run WayVNC to get to the phone's GUI via VNC client. It's possible to hook up a screen, mouse, and keyboard using the docking port that comes with the "convergence" edition Pinephone but I think there have been issues getting the screen output to work. (Possibly it would work with other USB docks as well.) Should be the same on the Pro model.
