Bid'ah is a practice which was not in religion like Taraweeh, yet some people practice it as a part from religion. Cutting cake during Eid or any other occasion is not a religious practice. Some Muslims don't like it because it is a non Muslim practice or social act, but this does not make it a Bid'ah.

Most of guests do not become dependent on the house where they visit. Fitra is not obligatory on you for the guest who is not dependent on you. In case a guest came as a dependent on you, then his Fitra becomes obligatory on you.

Eid Prayer is allowed to be prayed in congregation because it is in its original form an obligatory prayer in the presence of the Prophet (SAWA) and the Imam (AS). It is not like Salat Al-Lay or Nafila or Ghofaila etc which is always recommended. The reason behind praying Eid Namaz in congregation is its original form which is Wajib.

It is highly recommended to sacrifice on Eid Al-Adha, but it is not obligatory except on pilgrims in Hajj. The narration you mentioned means the importance of the sacrifice and the great reward of it but does not mean that it is obligatory.

Yes it is permissible to pray Eid prayers in Sunni mosque. Eid prayer can be performed in congregation ( Jama'ah) as well as individually (Furada). When pray with congregation of Sunni brothers, you need to recite every Sura and Du'a in whispering without clear voice. This is exactly like praying any prayer with Sunni congregation.

Eid Al-Zahra ( 9th Rabi'ul Awwal) is one of the big days of happiness for Ahlul Bayt (AS). It is mentioned as the second Ghadeer. It is the day of the end of one of the main enemies of Lady Fatimah Al-Zahra (SA). In Quran we read that the believers celebrate and rejoice the end of the enemies of Allah (Sura 30, Verse 4).

Hadeeth of Ahmad Ibn Is-Haq al-Ash'ari from from Imam Hasan Al-Askari (AS) stated that the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) has informed his grandsons Hasan and Husain to celebrate this day because it will be the end of their mother's enemy. ( Dala'il al-Imamah by ibn Jareer al-Tabari and Rawdhaat al-Jannaat by al-Khonsari, page 768.

In the name of Allah

Considering the obligatory Qurbani (sacrificing sheep, goat, etc.) for a Haji (Pilgram to Makkah) in the Hajj al-Tamattu on the Day of Eid al-Adha, every Haji should offer One Qurbani and not less. so sharing it with another Haji won't work.

However, for a Mustahab (recommended) Qurbani, any number of people can contribute and share the Thawab of one Qurbani.

WasSalaam.
