#4"DOL has masked the fact that this rule would be a windfall to restaurant owners and other employers—out of the pockets of tipped workers—by making it sound as if this rule is about tip pooling."
Sounds like this one must've been written by lobbyists? Assuming this article is accurate, why would this seem like a good rule to get rid of?

Tipped employees make less:
"According to a common labor law provision referred to as a “tip credit”, the employee must earn at least the state’s minimum wage when tips and wages are combined or the employer is required to increase the wage to fulfill that threshold."

Not tipped workers. In many states, they get a separate minimum wage in the $3/h range.

Employers do not directly have to pay employees the minimum wage if the tips earned from the work add up to the minimum wage.

#8So how, as a customer, could I actively tip my wait staff and not the establishment?
Will this lead to the abolishment of tipping in general?

God, I hope it does.
Tipping is just a way for restaurant owners to exclude the cost of labor from their listed prices.

Counter point -- Tipping is a way to insure excellent service on return visits to service oriented establishments.
