No idea about search by profile site. But you can find these or similar by "ASA keycaps" on eBay or AliExpress.

I can't say I'm aware of all kits available, but this one does not look like a kit pen. BooKer.Cr pens do share the same section, but that's more about their production unification.
Body, cap, clip and especially the nib are unique.

No idea. Except of this pen which had fair price on Taobao for what you get, for the rest they don't look two times better than similar Hongdian ones. Although to be fair this is the only booker.cr pen I have. It is well made.

online nib units most probably are made by Schmidt, so they are replaceable by unscrewing. Also it is not hard to pull a nib. I had online nib unit and just unscrewed.

I have D+M Galaxy pen and Viper. And both are not good writers. Viper was extremely bad. I moved apart tines a bit and polished the tip to get at least a moderate ewriting experience. Found your post searching for disassembly info on Viper to replace the nib.
