#2What does this mean?
The universe is fake? Is this along the same lines as "everything is a simulation"?

Think of it, as if God is pulling a joke on us or the physicists.

#5Is this actually evidence or lack of proof against?

Nope, not fake. Just another way to look at it. From the paper:
"One of the deepest insights about
quantum gravity that emerged in recent times is that it is
expected to be holographic
[1–3], meaning that there
should be an equivalent description of the bulk physics
using a quantum field theory with no gravity in one
dimension less. One may thus seek to use holography to
model the very early Universe."

Holographic theory is not the same as the universe being a simulation. I have only done basic reading and following of the idea but as I understand things, the "holographic" universe is about figuring out how our experience is encoded in the fabric of the cosmos. It's another step in trying to find the universal equation that works at the big (gravity / relativity) and the small (quantum).
If the holographic information is itself a simulation is another level of discussion entirely!

IANAP, but no, it's saying that our current 4-dimensional spacetime is a holographic projection from an earlier 2-D phase of our universe. Not that it is currently 2-dimensional.

#9I wonder if this theory supports the idea that the universe inhabits a black hole, or at least the surface of one.
