Others are much more qualified to answer your specific questions.
The thing is that Tracker/Trash already do everything correctly. Just
not for folders... removing files works without problems. So the
solution is already in code, all that's left is finding the bug or
extending wrt folders. :)

I guess that comes from the same routine that does the renaming when
duplicating files in a folder. Personally, I have no issues with "copy".
However, a superscript number would be more elegant and more obviously
renamed because it's seldomly found in file names: Foo², Foo³, Foo⁴...
OTOH, I don't know if those are friendly when accessed from another OS,
for example...

It's the complete path, i.e. /path/to/filename and it's called
_trk/original_path.

Not sure about that. With the renamed filename you'll see more easily
which file with the identical name was deleted last, as that's the one
with the highest number (usually).

That would be the "Created" attribute.
I'd agree that Trash's default columns should be different from your
ordinary folder. Like name, size, created (==deleted), original name.
How is that done when building Haiku?
