Is it a bad idea to use the same password and container size for multiple veracrypt container?
The container size is irrelevant to this, and so are all of the other specifics of the question for that matter. If your passwords are brute-forceable then all bets are off.

All 32 bit primes on 1 640Mb CD-ROM , and then used as immediate lookup of resulting prime factors, is that even possible, in early 1990s?
Storing a bit array of $6n\pm1$ would take only 170 MB and lookup would be faster, but it's still pointless.

Is ($2^{256} + 297$) safe to use as modulus in Shamir Secret Sharing?
The answer to "is it safe" is yes, but if you're implicitly asking if it's a good solution to the problem of the message being larger than $2^{127}-1$, the answer is no. It's more efficient to divide the message into pieces, make shares of each piece, and concatenate them.

Prove that what's running inside a black box is code that has been released publicly
I understand the first paragraph of this answer, but I can't make sense of any part of the second. There is no black box in the halting problem, so I don't see how it's relevant, and that goes double for "hardware/environmental data dependent interrupts" etc.

Are there any weak nonce-misuse resistant encryption scheme?
AES-GCM-SIV isn't strongly nonce-misuse resistant according to this.

What are the performance reasons behind "xor-a-rotated-sum" instead of "add-a-rotated-xor" in Salsa20?
@JAAAY I'm not sure I understand either question. I think they're based on a false premise, since they both ask about 3-argument operations ($a+b+c$), but djb was talking about 3-operand instructions where one operand is an output ($a\leftarrow b+c$). x86 has $a\leftarrow b+c$, but for xor it only has $a\leftarrow a\oplus b$ where $a$ appears on both sides.
