It is a physical, mental, and spiritual act of worship that is observed five times every day at prescribed times.

Salatul Dhuha is a Bid’ah like Salat Al-Taraweeh because the Prophet (SAWA) never prayed nor approved it. Even in Sunni books like Bukhari, there are Hadeeths that the Prophet never prayed Salat al-Dhuha.

We pray any time recommended prayers of two Rak'ats we can repeat it any number times. We also pray Salat Ja'far Al-Tayyar which is mentioned even in Sunni books as Salat al-Tasbeeh which two Rak'ats then two Rak'ats which include 300 times of Tasbeehat Arba' ( SUBHANALL WAL HANDULILLAH WALA ELLALLAH WALLAHU AKBAR).

There are two ways to perform this very authentic Salah.

Sadaqa is always very good but it will never clear your responsibility to make up ( Qadha) of any missed obligatory Salah. Missed SALAH must be performed as Qadha by you. Even after death, it must be performed on your behalf as Qadha.

Missing Ruku' invalidate Salah because Ruku' is one of the basic five obligatory acts of Salah. If you remembered and performed Ruku; before going for next step, then your Salah will be valid. If you go ahead to next Rak'at, before performing Ruku', then Salah is invalid because of missing one basic obligatory act.

No. There is no obligation to wear any cap while performing SALAH or reciting Quran. Women should obviously wear Hijab but there is no obligation on men to wear a cap or so. It is recommended for men who can to wear turban to do so while praying SALAH. No obligation at all to cover the head or wear a skull cap.

Yawning does not invalidate the ritual prayers (salat), although it is better manners to avoid excessive yawning if possible.

If you are very sleepy and have time to take a nap before the salat time ends, you can do that too. 

There are some hadith narrated from Abu Hurayra along the lines that yawning and sneezing are from Shaytan. Some Sunni Muslims accept these hadith. Shi'i Muslims usually reject these hadith as incorrect/untrue (that is, in the Shi'i view, yawning and sneezing do not come from Shaytan). You may select whatever viewpoint is suitable for you (and Allah knows best).
