[at congregation time]

62:9 O you who believe! When the call is heard for the salat at congregation time, then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade.

I made the above amateur translation using other English translations. I have translated 'yawm' as 'time' instead of 'day'. Is this an acceptable translation?

There are 5 times of congregation in a mosque per day. In view of 62:9, do muslims have a duty to do salat in congregation in a mosque 5 times a day?

[is arbitrary and not intrinsic to the original unadorned text]

Please see this article
https://www.quranite.com/al-masjid-al-haram-in-the-quran/

This article claims that the difference between 2nd person plural and 3rd person plural is merely that of placing a diacritical point to achieve 'ya' rather than 'ta' (the placing of two dots below the stem rather than above it) and is arbitrary and not intrinsic to the original unadorned text.

Is this claim valid?

On the basis of this claim, the article argues that 9:28 should read as 'lā taqrabū' and not 'lā yaqrabū', thus directing the believers to forsake al-masjid al-ḥarām.

According to 6:151, it is 'haram' to be good to parents.

Is haram a neutral word? Not negative or positive.

Please help to clarify why this is so. This is according to http://corpus.quran.com/

Does the Quran contain defunct verses and chapters? This could be because they are confined to the prophet's lifetime or directed specifically to the prophet? In part, I looked at the 2nd person singular.

How much of the Quran is defunct?

Examples of possible defunct verses
49:2, 9:103, 59:7, 33:59, 66:1, 2:219, 2:222, 4:65, any verse that says "qul" to the prophet

Examples of possible defunct chapters, or portions of chapters
Chapters 9, 72, 73, 74, 80, 105, 108, 109, 112, 113, 114

Are there any verses making it a duty upon muslims to warn others? Or was it a duty only for the prophet?
