3. The 787 Y seats on QR give you ample pitch and is the best your going to get between those two carriers.

4. Not sure about this one, but most likely yes.

5. This really doesn't matter, they are Y meals, so probably very similar.
The EK 77W afaik is flying in 3-4-3 configuration, so even worse!

I just checked again and it turns out, the QR flight from DOH to SIN will be in an A350-900 That's a dream come true. From what I read the economy seats in the a350-900 are extra spacy(in 3-3-3 config), right? At least it seems the width is 18,5ft in the A350 and 17,9ft in the 787-8 and both are in 3-3-3 configuration.

(please forgive me if I'm talking bollocks, I'm really an amateur in regards to those details but fascinated nonetheless)
