So I have a client who has a website that sells clothes and accessories. My question is, can I create a web view based application with a few features like Push Notifications, other screens, and more.
Will my app get rejected if its web view based e-commerce site? Are is it a way that I can get it on the store?
This is a very general question. Apple has no restrictions on web view based application and you can implement all the required feature that you have mentioned. For an example you can use: Ionic to build your application and it's totally fine.
Though apple doesn't recommend to make an application which only renders website inside the app framework. Since you are building an actual application with features that's not a problem. For assurance, I have published application which are based on web view in the past.

I am not at all familiar with swift or iOS developmet (I only have python / SQL experience) so I am sorry if this is a stupid question.
How do iOS developers embed specific data such as a rating or review from other sites into an app that would hypothetically gather this data from several different websites?
So for example, for video game reviews app, the app wants to have the rating or review number from different sites that are all built and formatted completely differently, how does the iOS dev pull this specific data into a SQL table or into the iOS app itself? I imagine that the iOS app would talk to SQL first, but how does the link between the sites and the back-end environment connect?
How have you implemented this before, or how have you seen / heard of this being implemented?
Can this be done without scraping / hurting SEO?
You don't access their databases directly.
This can be achieved using the service API or through Web Scraping.

I'm an educator and wish to build an app for my students. It will be quite basic with a login so they can find their info, invoices, ... But it would be really handy for them to have an app for this instead of using the webbrowser.
But it wouldn't be financially interesting to build an native app from scratch and since this functionality already exists op web. So I would like to use WebView instead to load this part of my website and won't have to maintain the app.
I heard Apple can give you hard time and decline your app if it only uses Webview to load a webpage. Is that correct?
If your site is responsive and within the webview it presents application appearance it becomes easier to be approved. If they refuse you can put a single native functionality to justify being an app, or try to cache the site on the local disk.
You said you have a login system for your students, and it is important to register on the site as well.

Am I able to use Swift code to display all apps that are currently running on an Iphone (or Ipad)? I am hoping to integrate this with an "on/off" button, but am having trouble getting the display to appear.
No. The lists of installed and running applications are treated as private data, and are not available to applications. Apple has specifically rejected applications for attempting to determine what other applications were installed on a user's phone.

I'm prototyping an iPhone app for an acquaintance and there's a requirement to share an image between devices. I'm thinking of the easiest way to do this. I know that on an iPhone I cannot send mail or text messages without user approval and I do not have a web server or server-side scripting knowledge. This leaves some third party image sharing service.
Are there any iOS examples out there on how to temporarily upload an image to an image hosting web service (flickr, imgur?) and get a URL to the image back? Ideally this would not require a login/password combo and can hold images for 48 hours or so.
You could use the Imgur API which is free as long as you're not planning to make money with your application or your application is an open-source project. It allows you to upload your images with ease.
Look at using Parse.com, specifically the file hosting described here

If you were building a service like Instagram, when you need
-a web app
-android app
-ios app
How do you make the architecture for this to give enough flexibility to add another mobile system and keep the code as DRY possible? Do you have books to recommend about it?
In order to allow the server to support a wide range of client plattforms, I would make all client apps communicate with the server with the same protocol, so that the plattform the client runs on doesn't matter for the server. In an ideal case this would allow to add a new plattform without changing anything on the server-side
XmlHttpRequest is a good common denominator.
