This question has probably been asked before, but are there any shows planned for this stage upon it reopening? The two times we've visited DLP nothing has been going on on the stage.
You’d assume so but nothing official yet

The stage was used regularly prior to the four hub stages being constructed which became the go to stages (albeit with a different style of show) so I think it depends on the show directors for DLP on what show stage they want to use.

Balloon view of construction from today, looks like the 2nd of four domes is now atop the Regal View restaurant

All the in-theme signage in English now?

That is an interesting question!
There's something about the jump from Norwegian to English that doesn't seem too great, but I don't know if that just comes from being a native English speaker who has been to Norway a bunch of times! Kind of wonder whether it seems a bit strange to French guests that the Norway-themed area has English-language signs.

The Tangled Teacups are called Raiponce Tangled Spin, a mix of French and English. I'm wondering if World of Frozen will be mainly English names and Lion King and the Up Waveswiger may still have French names?

"Frozen", the movie, isn't even called that in France. The title there is "La Reine des Neiges" (The Snow Queen)
Raiponce Tangled Spin incorporates both the American and French names of that movie.

Is Disney still obligated to have a certain number of (or all) attractions in French?

In America, at EPCOT, Frozen is sold as Norwegian. In Europe, Frozen is sold as American.
Arendelle as a fantasy setting of a distinctly American production.

Then Hong Kong basically sells it as “it doesn’t really matter where it’s from it’s just foreign for us to be cold” which I think is the superior option

I don't believe so. However I would say French remains the predominant language in nearly all situations with English as the secondary language. There are the occasionally anomalies like Star Tours is only French whilst Rhythms of the Pride Lands is only English.

Is there something unique about the ride system compared to normal flume rides that requires such an extensive test track?

Trust me, I am not saying Norway to justify its placement at Epcot! Looking at the land, though, does make me think of a little stylised version of Bergen and other places I've been in Norway. I am pretty sure most visitors from Europe will read it that way, though the signs do kind of suggest it could be America!In America, at EPCOT, Frozen is sold as Norwegian. In Europe, Frozen is sold as American.
Yes, I am puzzled about this one. I don't remember any other ride system were Disney has built a mock-up out the back of the park to make sure it works. Seems a little... unusual.

Is it confirmed to be a normal flume like splash or are they trying to integrate the Shanghai pirates/tokyo frozen dancing boats that go backwards and the like into a flume drop ending

All the concept art and models for the Lion King ride (other than the 1st with Live-Action characters) shows three-person rows so wonder if that has to do with it? They'll probably be using it to test the outdoor drop in different weather conditions to see if they can operate it in the Winter or if they might have to do what other all-year-round parks do and close their water rides in the Winter (Eftelling does with their water coaster)
They have all the seasonal adjustment data they need from Tokyo
