Yes - and, by extension, yes to your second question.

No, he would not have won. Yes, a muslim can win statewide in Michigan. He would have lost because of his policies, not his religion.

Whitmer won by 10 points. Are you claiming there would have been a ten point shift against him if he were the nominee? This means that one in twenty voters (over one in eleven Whitmer voters) would have had instead voted for the Republican if El-Sayed had been nominated.

Is this your contention?

Yes. I think the RGA and DGA would've shifted funds in and out respectively.

Probably. But only probably. The logic of “He could only lose if some people who voted for Gretchen voted against him” doesn’t hold up because Gretchen could only win by as much as she did by winning people who voted for Donald Trump, and Donald Trump could only win at all by winning some people who voted for Barack Obama. Never assume that all the candidates in a party are interchangeable with each other and would necessarily have gotten all or even almost all of the same voters as the other candidates.

Snyder was unpopular and it was a blue wave year, so any Democrat would have been favored, which is why I say he still probably wins, but it might have been narrower. Again, Gretchen won a number of Obama-Trump voters, which was enough to flip several Obama-Trump counties and basically completely reverse the state’s partisan swing from 2012 to 2016. It is far from a certainty that a Muslim associated with the leftmost wing of the party who was endorsed by such figures as Michael Moore, Shaun King, and AOC would have won as many of those voters/counties back from Trump. Yeah, there’s a significant Muslim population in Michigan and he might have slightly outperformed Whitmer in those areas, but if he couldn’t make gains elsewhere it might have been close or even a loss.

No, he would’ve been kicked off the ballot due to residence issues.

This is the correct answer. You cant honestly argue that El-Sayed being the candidate would have caused a literal 10 point shift in favor of the Republicans. The Blue Wave midterm, the unpopular former governor, the Anti-Trump sentiment, none of this would suddenly be overturned by Abdul's candidacy.

Yes, but probably by 5-7, rather than 10, so by extension, yes

Yes, but by only around 5 and he loses Gogebic, Bay, Kent, Clinton and Macomb counties.

Yes and Yes, but he would have won by significantly less. Probably would have dragged down Dana Nessel.

Yes, but it would have been unnecessarily tight, and far from a guaranteed win.

Probably, but it would have been a Nessel/Leonard margin instead of the 10-point blowout that Whitmer won by. Nessel probably would have lost at that point. Shri Thanedar would have been a complete and utter disaster had he won the nomination.

The fear mongering and misinformation would have been out of control. I think he would have won though.

He could have won if the state deemed him eligible on residency grounds which from what I've seen he was really pushing it.
