Answer 1

Good news, TRUNCATE TABLE is supported by now: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/dml-syntax#truncate_table_statement

TRUNCATE TABLE [[project_name.]dataset_name.]table_name

However, please note that this will not work / is not supported, if a partition filter is required through your table definition.
