Those resources have got to have come from a framework file at some point. Since you haven't got that file (I looked in AOSP framework-res.apk - they're not there either) you'll probably have to put the resources into your bools.xml and edit the lines mentioned in the error message manually.

A bit annoying but relatively straightforward and it'll let the file recompile. The only problem is that you don't know whether these bools are meant to be set to true or false or a mix of both. So the app might not function 100% correctly.
If that happens, just change the values and try again.

I did some Googling for these resources and I think they might come from a Pixel resource app, but I don't know for sure. You could try downloading some system dumps and installing different files but that could take a while.

Can't replicate this. If anything I get:

W: /home/ibotpeaches/Downloads/Apktool/2365/file-manager_2.1.2/res/values/styles.xml:1568: error: style attribute 'android:attr/windowFixedWidthMajor' is private.
W: /home/ibotpeaches/Downloads/Apktool/2365/file-manager_2.1.2/res/values/styles.xml:1569: error: style attribute 'android:attr/windowFixedWidthMinor' is private.

Which just points to using private resources which is frowned upon.
