Answer 1

Here you go:

1. ini_get_all() or get_loaded_extensions() were the closest I could find
2. php_uname()
3. apache_get_modules()
4. phpversion() was the closest I could find
5. stream_get_wrappers()
6. stream_get_transports()
7. stream_get_filters()

See also get_defined_constants() and some more.

As Chacha102 mentioned you can also use output control functions and parse the phpinfo():

ob_start();
phpinfo();
$variable = ob_get_contents();
ob_get_clean();

Due to the use of ob_get_clean() it won't mess up other output buffering levels you may be using.
