I don't use chrome so can't help you there.

I find that my MacBook requires a little more interaction when waking these days. Multiple keyboard presses, multiple trackpad clicks and/or power button interaction. Not sure if you've ben persistent with your clicking but if that problem persists i would take it to the Apple Store.

Welcome to the dongle world! For Ethernet you need an adapter. I think the MBA supports the thunderbolt to Ethernet adapater. If not then USB to Ethernet. I've had my MBP for 4 years and never needed Ethernet though.

You are right. My MBP was on Snow Leopard. The MBA is Sierra. Is that why safari bookmarks are all screwed up?

I tried tapping keys and the trackpad but the MBA doesn't wake up.

I have an appointment at the Genius Bar tomorrow. I hope they will resolve these issues.
