What could cause all electrical outlets and lights on the same circuit to go out without tripping the breaker?

GFCI and overcurrent protection (breaker) work in different ways. Suffice to say the GFCI is ~2000x more sensitive and trips long before the typical household breaker. So it's normal for a GFCI trip and the panel breaker to remain closed.The electrician is correct regarding GFCI devices. One GFCI device can protect multiple downstream outlets but some homeowners want a separate reset per floor or each bathroom to have its own reset, etc.As for the hair dryer... you're trying to eliminate trip sources so just leave it unplugged between uses and you'll get your answer.Typical trip sources are the GFCI itself (defect/damage/age) or an appliance of sorts. Then there's rodent or water infiltration issues. Anything you plug into the GFCI circuit is a potential trip source even something seemingly innocuous as a nightlight or air freshener, USB charger, anything that fits into the plug.

Under-microwave/over the stove bulbs keep burning out

It should be an "appliance" type bulb. They are made to handle vibrations associated with fans and/or motors.

How to open the Hubbell YQ230 in order to test line voltage.

Turn off the power source to the device you want to test. Unplug the adapter from the power source. Locate the two screws on the adapter's faceplate. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws. Gently pull apart the two halves of the adapter. Once you have opened the adapter, you can use a voltage indicator to test the line voltage . If you don't have one, you can purchase it from Hubbell's website or any other electrical equipment supplier. The MarineEngine.com website states that the Hubbell YQ230 adapter has a UV-resistant housing and two screws on its faceplate. You can use a screwdriver to remove these screws and open the adapter.

Can this controller be replaced with a controller thats not nema 4

Whether or not a NEMA 4 controller can be replaced with a controller that is not NEMA 4 depends on the specific application. NEMA 4 controllers are designed to withstand water and dust ingress, so they are often used in outdoor or harsh environments. If the controller is being used in an environment where it is exposed to water or dust, then it is important to replace it with a NEMA 4 controller. Overall, it is important to consult with a qualified electrician before replacing a NEMA 4 controller with a controller that is not NEMA 4. The electrician can assess the specific application and recommend the best controller for the job. If you want to look for a controller, you can visit: https://www.chipsmall.com/bigcategory/industrial-automation-and-controls.html to search for the controller you want.

Powerhouse 3100RI has no spark, plug has been changed. Where to look and what to check

It has low oil level cut off which will prevent spark. Check there is sufficient oil in the engine crankcase. Oil level alert sensors are a common failure so if there's sufficient oil then disconnect the sensor. If engine then runs, replace oil alert sensor. Owners manual is available, no fee download, at the following URL. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/722234/Powerhouse-Ph3100ri.html#manual

How to set the float level in an etq tg1200 generator

Float levels don't just go bad. But that said you pull the carb and turn it upside down and set the float to be level with the bottom of the carb (bottom with the carb upside down.) Most new stuff doesn't have an adjustment. They break fairly easily. Don't ask how I know.As long as you have it apart, pull the float and hold it down in a cup of fairly hot water and see if it bubbles which would indicate a hole in the float which would let too much gas into the carb causing flooding.Make sure you clean the needle valve and seat and the carb inside while you are at it.
