Just a few observations from the world's worst flaggie!

Yes. It should be shown at every post for one lap, but don't take the waved yellow & SC board & show the green flag until you see it at an adjacent post on either side.

Should yellow with red stripe be used for track debris such as bodywork or should it be a single waved yellow?

You'll get a variety of opinions on this. It's a judgement call, but one rule of thumb that's often quoted is: if they'll run over it, show the striped flag, is they'll run into it, show a yellow.
Try to use yellows as little as possible consistent with safety. If you show a yellow flag you are in effect stopping racing over your sector. The drivers have paid a lot of money to race; help them get maximum value for money!

With regard to Yellow and red, should it always be held stationary? Possibly in 2016 there was a waved option for slippery surface imminent but I am unable to find this in 2017 issue.

White flag for slow moving race vehicle, waved in section, stationary on next section.
What happens if the car comes to a stop in your section, do you swap to yellow?
|
The operative words here are "slow
moving". If it stops it's become an incident.

Would you double yellow with a driver out of the car?

Yes.
