Answer 1

I made this solution, it's solved unexpected keyword arguments expiry

def set_cookies(cookies, s):
    for cookie in cookies:
        if 'httpOnly' in cookie:
            httpO = cookie.pop('httpOnly')
            cookie['rest'] = {'httpOnly': httpO}
        if 'expiry' in cookie:
            cookie['expires'] = cookie.pop('expiry')
        s.cookies.set(**cookie)
    return s

Answer 2

First you have to get the cookies from your driver instance:

cookies = driver.get_cookies()

This returns cookie dictionaries for your session.

Next, set those cookies in requests:

s = requests.Session()
for cookie in cookies:
    s.cookies.set(cookie['name'], cookie['value'])

Answer 3

You can use 3rd party package like selenium-requests or requestium. They provide function to share cookies between requests and selenium.
