How to derive the tezos public key from the points on the curve (SECP256K1 or P-256)
Public keys in Tezos are stored in compressed form:
<1 byte prefix>|X
Prefix is b'\x02' if Y is even, b'\x03' otherwise, now you have a compressed key of 33 bytes long;
Add tezos prefix b'\x03\...

Any way to get the public key of an address?

Can I use BIP32 HD key pairs to derive ed25519 addresses
You can not derive Ed25519 keys in a way that is compatible with bip32 or bip44. Bip32 only defines a derivation scheme for secp256k1, and bip44 depends on bip32. To get around this problem there's a ...

What are the differences between key, key_hash, address, contract and signature in Michelson?

What are the differences between key, key_hash, address, contract and signature in Michelson?

There are no instructions for that, probably ...

Which hash function is used when converting an address from raw bytes?
It’s not hashed. You simply need to compute the base58 translation with the right prefix.
Proof that it’s not hashed: this process is reversible.

Manually calculate tz1 address from privatte key/mnemonic
You need to apply blake2b hash on the public key;
Add the perfix respective to the elliptic curve you are using;
Encode the bytes with base58.
