How can i make belowname not affect NPCs but keep it for players?

Disable vanilla belowname, enable unlimited nametag mode and run /tab group _OTHER_ belowname &c%health% Health.

Why does %rank% say "No Rank" ?

Your primary permission group is not defined in rank-aliases.

How to add players to %staffonline% placeholder ?

Give them tab.staff permission.

How do i make %online% not count vanished players ?

Use %canseeonline% instead. This placeholder will display the amount of players viewer can see in tablist. That means vanished admins will still see the real count because they can see themselves obviously, but (other) players won't.
Same with %staffonline% -> %canseestaffonline%.
More info about these placeholders available on Placeholders page.

How do i disable ping in tablist ?

yellow-number-in-tablist: ''

So, i enabled unlimited nametag mode understanding it's experimental, but it doesn't seem to work. Why ?

This thing shows nametags completely differently than vanilla. As a result, hacked clients that allow you to see your own nametag will not work for this. To see the result, you need another person to look at you. You can also use /tab ntpreview to temporarily display the text for yourself (the command is a toggle).

How to make player heads visible in tablist ?

online-mode=true in server.properties or get a plugin like FastLogin that changes connections of premium players to online connections. There's no way a cracked player can see heads.

How can I add more columns in tablist ?

Players are put into columns by the client, it is not managed by the server. The only way is to get more players. They automatically split into more columns at 21, 41 and 61 players.
There could be a way in a future to do that aswell as add fake players slots in the tablist but it isn't a priority yet.
You can check the progress about this feature here.

Can i show some text in the variable next to the connection bar in tablist ? / Can i change the number's color ?

No, there are only 2 options: yellow number and hearts. Nothing else, color cannot be changed. However, premium version offers automatic suffix aligning for the same effect but with no limits.
