You can't ask for UTXOs from arbitrary nodes on the networks, because there is no way to verify that information.
You need to ask for blocks. And a pruned node cannot provide those.

Yes, open the command console inside the GUI and type

Use software that supports BIP32 hierarchical deterministic wallets like Electrum. You will then be able to have one seed with unlimited addresses. You should only use an address once, so give a different address out each time you want to receive a payment. This will improve privacy too as people who pay you wont be able to see other transactions you ...

To get started with Bitcoin Core, you can either download it from bitcoincore.org or
compile it directly ...

Bitcoin-qt is not just a frontend GUI or wallet handling software. It is bitcoind with a GUI.
There is a WIP project for separating things and make this possible, but it's still very early and not recommended for end users.
What are some common wallets that support this feature? (trusted nodes via RPC or SPV to a bitcoind full node)

Generally, a wallet is a piece of software that manages the user's key material, tracks their balance, and facilitates payments. On the Lightning Network, this means that a wallet must also be able to manage channels. These tasks could be handled by a thin client, under the assumption that it trusts a service provider for providing certain information.
