Having trouble balling my character's fist
Here are your topology and bones:
I think that:
You need to put the Armature modifier above the Subdivision Surface, and also activate the Preserve Volume option of the Armature modifier.

Pose mode lags with a specific armature
Your rig may have extra objects parented to it, which causes the problem.
Make sure your rig doesn't have any unnecessary mesh, curves, etc parented to it.

set bones in edit mode to object mode position
I figured out how to set the object mode to edit mode.
⎇ Alt + R for rotation
⎇ Alt + G for translation
⎇ Alt + S for scale

Why do bones distort/squish my mesh?
You must have parented with the With Automatic Weights mode, therefore some vertices of the body will be assigned to the vertex group that will be controlled by the arm.
Maybe you should use the With ...

Is there a better way to rig this sphere? Automatic weights doesn't do what I want, and trying to fix it in weight painting doesn't fix it
You're doing 2 conceptual errors:
1 Setting a weight of 1.0 it's not enough to get a vertex stuck on its bone, because the vertex shift is always calculated in relation with all the assigned weights, ...

How to get global rotation of a bone with respect to global planes of axis via python?
You can't do this.
Why? It is because you have converted rotation from quaternions to Euler angles. That's basically means, that you have dozens of variants to have the same rotation using Eulers. Let ...

I want some Bones in my rig to stick to their relative position, so I can edit them better

Can I affect bones with forcefields or somehow fake noise/turbulence on a group of bones? (animating anemone tentacles)
I have solved my question with a method suggested by @moonboots and I expanded it with a script to make it less tedious. (original tutorial with the method)
Step 1: Create an edge and subdivide it. ...

Why is my IK Bone dragging the mesh with it?
You need to disable the Deform option for all the controller bones. You should have done that before parenting. Now you'll need to correct the weight of the feet and ankle bones so that they now ...

How can i animate my object with one bone?
If you created an armature with a single bone, and after autoweights, your mesh doesn't move with that bone, it's because the autoweights failed. Blender would provide an error message in this case, ...
