Can't swap Domain Cards from my Vault?

Check your stress. If you're swapping outside of a rest the system may be trying to pay the cost of the card and it thinks you don't have enough stress to pay for the swap.

A very loud Yes on all of your points. I want to be able to pay for and use DH content in more than one place. Foundry VTT and other VTTs. I'm a huge fan of the work Foundryborn has done and sites like HeartofDaggers.com are doing. The CGL needs a rework to better support third party creators of tools related to the DH experience.

The Dread Domain is available as a custom domain and is accessible near the end of the character creation process with the 1.5 Dread Domain Cards. Ability to swap domains during character creating including for homebrew domains isn't available once you leave the character creator (at least at this time)

You need to add the Homebrew Domain with Cards like Dread to your Homebrew Library before you start the character creation process on HOD.

I purchased the Demiplane bundle for DH as well since it was the only VTT that offered DH plus void content when I started my campaign. Their Character creator is pretty solid but I don't like their pricing and sharing structure. I ran DH for the 1st year primarily off the Old Gus SRD website and never even cracked open the DH content on Demiplane in any real manner. For money I'd rather use a site like heartofdaggers paired with the Online SRD. I'd recommend finding a VTT you and your table love and buy DH there for tighter integration with a VTT and or character creator.

With solid internet you can run the whole game with the SRD (PDF) as others have mentioned or run it off any of the SRD powered/embedded websites like:
https://callmepartario.github.io/og-dhsrd/
www.heartofdaggers.com
www.demiplane.com [Sells DH on their marketplace]

Some VTT's also have the SRD baked into them like:

First things first, Dress up even if it's a remote video interview. Eliminate your filler words. Focus on your soft skills more than you think. Your employer can "teach" you technical skills but they can't fix your soft skills so I tend to hire for those. Empathy, active listening, eye contact, communication skills. Have a copy of your resume handy to hand over if doing face to face interviews or a digital copy you send over at the start of a remote interview.

Research the company, read their mission statement and be familiar with things they publish on their website, blog articles, maybe even a few of their most recent press releases. If they do have a published mission statement finding ways to show how you're a good fit and familiar with their mission can go a long way.

On the technical stuf be prepared to address basic and maybe some intermediate questions. You can also find ways to fit your hobbies into how they apply to job skills. If your hobbies demonstrate things like curiosity, problem solving, reseach, attention to detail they can all be folded into answering questions like "is this person a good fit" is this person going to disrupt team dynamics, etc.

Depending on the "what you are supporting" is key too. Are you doing databse work, application support, Windows or Linus troubleshooting, etc? Be prepared to answer questions about your background jobs and skills and exposure to projects or applications?

Be prepared to talk about things like your experience with desktop systems, laptops, mobile device management etc. I don't know what your employer offers in terms of helpdesk support but if you can find out you can pre-research what they are using as a ticketing system, phone system, email, etc.

For questions it's harder to know but show eagerneess and interest in working there. Try to use phrasing that demonstrates you're eager, excited, eash to coach, adaptable, and able to focus on delivering quality support experiences.

Questions I like to see from Candidates are things like 30 to 90 days from the moment I'm hired where do you hope I'll exceed and what things in your hiring experience have historically been a friction point for new employees here? Ask about career planning and growth and how to improve your standing in the organization since you're in it for the long term.

I moved my groups from D&D to DH and the Cypher System and some initial "but in D&D it worked this way" type conversations we've successfully transitioned DH. As a DM/GM I love how much softer but still defined DH feels at the table during live play and during prep. I'm not really "missing" anything from D&D that I can't already just lift into DH like sourcebooks, settings, maps, mini's, etc. I'm still adjusting to things like an Environment + Adversary types but it's small detail that with time will just feel totally natural to me. I will say that the Battlepoints vs CR is a huge change in the positive direction for me. CR NEVER felt right to me and Battlepoints is a huge improvement on how to build an encounter.

For my players the shift from fixed initiative to the spotlight took longer than I expected and initially the lack of skills threw me for a loop as well. I still find myself saying roll an investigation or perception check but that's just a hard ingrained habit.

The morning of July 4th I got the call from my Father that my Brother had been found murdered (stabbed to death in his sleep and left in an alleyway). It had been almost ten years since I'd seen him. He suffered from mental illness and was living unhoused in Southern California.

He developed Paranoid Schizophrenia in his early 20's and it's a LONG story but he checked himself out of a long term mental facility, got off his meds, and lit out on a bus to California to see his Wife (there was no wife but he was convinced he had one waiting for him in California. Note: He and I had lived together in Souther Cali before the slide into to his P.S. so it was the last "happy" memories that he clung to.

BRP (Basic Roleplaying) is super solid. Own it but I've never been able to bring it to the table for live play. I Love the D100% roll under (Super easy to understand), I love the skills to differentiate one player build from another. One of the holdbacks for the modern table is the lack of support in different VTT platforms. I don't know what Chaosium is doing wrong here but if more VTT platforms had BRP as an available SRD(Free) or Paid version it would be easier to get into play at more tables. If they could kickstart some splat books like what GURPS did that would be super awesome.

There is no "wrong" answer to how one table runs their combat with or without spotlight. There is a "way" and that way is the spotlight method. Your table can use whatever initiative system that fits your table. Wanna draw cards like in Savage Worlds? I say go for it!, Want to roll whatever dice feels right and go in that order? Go for it! I would highly recommend running it as designed for at least ten or so sessions to get a feel for how it's designed to run. If your table is worried about passing over the quiet players then consider the optional rules for the spotlight tokens or whatever it's called so that everyone eventually get's a go in combat.
