#2I find the principle of a "health pass" a little disturbing. Do we want to live in a society where we have to prove something about our health in order to attend events ?

Showing a pass every time you attend any kind of event is a bit more intrusive. But in the end, I do agree with you that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the approach.

I think there's a distinction to be made between diseases that are infectious and those that are not. If you have cancer and you want to attend an event, that's nobody's business because they're not going to catch it from you. If however the disease you have is serious and highly-transmissible then that's another matter entirely.

In general no, we don't.
But pragmatically in the current circumstances this seems to be the best option (or least bad) until things are sorted.

If the alternative is death, sure.

What would you put in the "light" QR code ? If you put the date of the test, then the organizer can access it. If you don't, then they can't check whether your test is recent enough to be authorized to attend their event.

Yes. Are you familiar with what public health is? Such restrictions are so people are encouraged to get vaccinated. Taking something away so far is most effective way to convince people.
