You could try to replace the thermostat if you can find a suitable replacement. But there may be a very low-tech solution. If the oven temp is consistently 100 higher across the entire range of the oven knob, you can either repaint the knob to shift all the numbers over or you can paint an indicator arrow on the oven surface next to the knob but shifted ...

Your hood will have an attachment size for the venting. So pick out your hood and it will have an out attachment of maybe 4-6 inches. That will determine what is needed to vent out.
Also PVC is fine to use. It is cheap and holds up better than all/most alternatives.
As far as the movement - your hood will have to do this. You can use flexible duct ...

Danish oil, like linseed and tung oil, can take up to a month for fully cure (from inside, out). Too old an oil may also turn tacky (surface dried but oil-in-wood hasn't).
The cure for either is a mineral spirit or turpentine wipe down, several times, spanning several days. Don't recoat until you don't smell the finish at the surface.
Then, recoat with a ...

I highly recommend a good set of fluorescent lamps under the cabinets instead. I know you asked about LED and you can use an LED equivalent in the same body/frame, so that would work well, and the LED's may last longer. My wife and I have a similar layout as your kitchen, including the overhead light: a big square kitchen with lots of surrounding cabinets, ...

Since this is a temporary solution, and you're not looking to spend a bunch of money. A battery powered, touch activated light might work well.
A cord-and-plug device, might be a good temporary solution as well.
Both these solutions should attach, and detach from the cabinets without causing any permanent damage.

Those flexible LED strips always burn out so I'd stay away from them. You'll wind up replacing it every 1.5 years and likely have to live with sections that are burned out after only 5-7 months of installation because lets face it your probably going to forget every once in a while that you left it on overnight. Much better to go with LED puck lights in my ...

You can definitely get flexible led strips that are bright enough to do what you want. Many of them run on 12V, which you can easily get from a small power supply, and you could just plug it into an outlet on the counter.
I would put them under the cabinets; it would be easily to hide them there. Many of the strips can be had with adhesive backing, which ...

99% sure no one makes a shelf that slides up or down. That would be a custom job from the mind of a master carpenter/engineer. Google "flipper door cabinet". I used to have one of these at my old office and the door is similar to a garage door. It would probably need to be customized because most are only 12" deep. If get the hardware you can just make one ...

Reconsider a weight. A solution I've used for both my bath fan vent as well as dryer vent is to glue a nut (machine bolt type) as a weight near the lower flap edge. However, my particular dryer run is very short - a few feet, and the bath vent run is no more than 10 feet with a 70cfm fan. The vents run well with very little added back-pressure. I used Goop ...

This type of slide decouples simply by giving the drawer a good tug in the straightout direction. It is advised to start the tug when the drawer is fully extended and then apply a steady but very firm pull.
When it comes time to reinstall the drawer you reach into the drawer opening and then pull the bearing carrier tray fully out up to the face frame. ...

I think you just need to find a better built vent hood. The first one I found searching on HD specifically calls out this problem in the description:
Unlike other versions that tend to rattle in the wind, the back draft damper on the ProMax cap has been designed for noise and wind resistance and its stylish wide mouth appearance helps to optimize the ...
