Do you have a specific CAP mon that you think should be nerfed, or is this a question about nerfs in general.

So Smeargle got teased in the DLC trailer. Sketch is likely back. Are there any plans to revisit a thread like the last one?

I don't see any action being taken on Necturna until Sketch is useable in game and we know with certainty how it works. Once we know its mechanics, we'd rollback the Gen 9 update and reintroduce Sketch along with any other changes (for example, if we'd still need Necturna Clause).
If I wanted to submit a Pokémon into the project, would it need to be for the current generation or could I submit one for an earlier generation?
We don't accept personal submissions period. You can read about how we do things here: https://www.smogon.com/cap/articles/newcomers_guide
CAP does not accept personal creations. This refers to any idea for a Pokemon that already has predefined typing, stats, abilities, movepool, name, art, pokedex entries, weight, height, or even generic themes such as "rabbit" or "angry". These facets of a Pokemon are all decided through community discussion in CAP during the CAP process. If you think you have an idea for a Pokemon that does not define these features, you may have a concept. CAP bases our Pokemon around concepts that look to explore the mechanics behind Pokemon and we take open submissions whenever we start a new project.
Will there be a Teal Mask TMs update session for all existing CAPs?
It will, but we don't know exactly when.
Mods will be updating the TM lists to match moves CAPs have gotten in the past. That being said, there are exceptions. Moves like toxic will retain their limited distributions from the gen 8/9 updates. We will not be having a public update session like the start of gen updates.
Is there a place to view all CAP Pokemon? I've tried https://www.smogon.com/cap/pokemon/ but it just says "Not found." in the corner. I don't want to go through all the previous threads to find them. Help appreciated! :)
The enCAPlopedia has them all, including processes, winners and pokedex entries.
https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/formats/cap/ is also pretty good if you want a quick reference for stats, abilities, and typings. It doesn't list CAP NFEs, but those are listed on the page of the fully evolved mon.

New here. Is there a way to check Team Comps easily that include specific pokemons like Zoroark, for example?
There are some CAP sample teams, I'm afraid none of them feature Zoroark, though. In PS! you can make use of the /teams command, which allows you to see teams uploaded by users, and you can filter by teams with specific Pokémon, e.g. CAP gen 9 and Zoroark.
Is there a reason behind Coribalis not getting Draining Kiss by tm when both Swirlpool and Snaelstrom do or is it just a mistake on the showdown dex?
Yes. Coding mistake.
How well does the CAPmon creation process work here? Was it different in the beginning?
These questions are rooted in MAYBE pumping new life into RBY CAPmon, well hopefully

Not exactly sure what you are trying to ask here, but I'll try to give a broad overview in the hope I point you in the right direction.
The CAP project solely focuses on the current generation. There is no energy put into new creations for older generations. CAP started in Gen 4, so we only support formats from the Nintendo DS games to the Nintendo Switch games. This means no RBY.
CAP moderators organize the start of a project. The project starts with leadership applications and voting. There is the TL that oversees the entire project and 4 SLs that oversee specific sections of the project. From that point on, the elected individuals control the project.
There are 5 major components of the process: Concept, Typing, Ability, Moves, and Stats. Each SL is responsible for leading discussion on one of Typing, Ability, Moves, or Stats. The TL is responsible for Concept and other intermediate steps. Concept Assessment determines the order Typing, Ability, Moves, and Stats will occur through the project.
If you want to know more about the early stages of the project, I recommend you explore the Process Archive. You can explore all the old projects to see how they were handled in greater detail.
RBY CAPmons is a Pet Mod to my knowledge, I think they are asking if CAP has known process changes that made it more enjoyable
If that is the case, that would be a question for the pet mod community since we do not oversee that process.
I've asked this question in the Pet Mods community as well, and here is their opinion - granted, my idea was to update the setting to GSC, but the point should still stand:
