Penalty to Liverpool.
I would say probably yes but it's one of those that could go either way.
Definitely a pen under next seasons rules.
No VAR in European qualifiers?
Me too, not sure what the assistant is seeing (or why it's not a corner instead?) but it's quite a nice example of the sort of thing that might have been accidental before, but is going to get given all the time. It looks handbally, which is a word I'm going to use all the time now.
I'm not even sure why this one is up for debate. The players are close when the ball is struck, but his arm is in an outstretched position. Penalty.
The PSG one still troubles me. Kempebe turns his back (which is criminal) but his arms are not abnormally raised. Still don't think it should have been a penalty.

No and no spare refs behind the goals too, just old school ref and 2 linesmen. Not approved in time I guess.
We should all chant “Handbally” every game when there is a chance of it being given.
Guess I’m the only one who doesn’t think that Serbia incident was a penalty(plus the ref of course) 
It looks very handbally, but it didn’t look deliberate and it gained no advantage to the defensive team.

The most important factor in the decision of a penalty, should be whether a clear goal-scoring opportunity was denied. Half the time with these handbally shouts, the ball was probably flying in to row Z.
A free kick inside the box, a la the passback rule, should be the punishment.

About time, I’ve not yet had the pleasure of var at a ground in person, but it sure looks like one long head scratcher for those in the stands. Sometimes it’s probably not even known what’s actually being reviewed
you could give every fan a yes / no button vote ensuring all home fans go home happy!
You joke but it wouldn't surprise me if something similar happened eventually with the TV audience.
Can't see that as it would give an advantage to bigger clubs. Please don't let them realise that.

I meant just as an opinion thing.
That is exactly how it should work. The flow as you say should be:
------------DELIBERATE-----------
....................|.......................
....YES--------------------NO
.......|.............................|
...PEN*...............Unnatural Position
....................................|
..........................YES--------NO
.............................|...............|
..........................PEN**........NO PEN
Simple as @saintlyhero says
* Card.
** No card.
