Minor thing, but did anyone notice if the Switch2 could use the same dock as the original? It's wider and taller, but I'm not sure if it's thicker.

Also I'm not sue how well dual screen games would play on a single screen system without modifcation.
Tell me about it. I just recently finally got a computer capable of running Lime3DS with only occasional drops into slow motion, and it's made me realize for the first time that there's just no good way to display its two screens on a widescreen computer monitor. And speaking of said slowdown, I wouldn't bet money on the Switch managing to emulate whatever proprietary gubbins were in those clamshells, even with Nintendo having all the documentation of how it worked. Remember how they struggled to even get Nintendo 64 games running smoothly?

Be neatola if Nintendo had revived the DS for it's twentieth anniversary, a new third model capable of playing the DS and 3DS games.

Also, It's possible MP4 and Pokemon AZ will have enhancements for this system but I'm expecting two of their classics: Super Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild to be BC out the box running 1080p or 1440p and 'maybe' have HDR through an update.

My needs for Switch 2 are simple: Zelda, Metroid, Smash Bros. If it can do that, I'm sold.

No answers provided yet that I've seen. This has been my main question for a while now. Or rather, I just want to know about compatibility between Switch 1 and 2 consoles and docks in general. If there's something new that requires you to use a Switch 2 dock for the Switch 2, or if you need a Switch 2 dock to unlock its full performance, fine. But I'd really like to be able to have just one dock connected to my TV and be able to plug in whichever console I want to play at the time. Full BC or not, I'm not just replacing my Switch 1 with a Switch 2.

This is another thing I'm curious about. I'd definitely prefer it if you can just get upgraded performance when running a Switch 1 game on a Switch 2. Barring that, something like how having a PS4 version of a game can unlock access to an upgraded PS5 version could be OK. But I've been seeing rumors about a new Switch 2 version of BotW. I'm definitely curious to see how that will play out.

I doubt any of the Switch 1 accessories will be able to be used. They want to sell you more docks and pro controllers after all.

Eh, Wii and WIIU consoles had some accessory backwards compatibility as well. So that's not really as much of a given as you think.
