Is it possible to create a playlist on iOS using the iPod Library Access API? By playlist I mean one that persists globally and can be accessed in the Music app.
No, there is no way for applications to write any information at all to the iPod library, as least in iOS7.1 and earlier.

From my iOS app, I need to get all the user playlist available in the Apple Music application.
Is it possible without the MusicKit SDK (prior iOS11) ?
Support back to iOS 3.0 with MPMediaPlaylist.

I want to write an app to be able to transfer music between two iOS devices and put them into iOS music library. I understand that this is a violation of app store rules, but I don't want to publish it, I want to use it for my own devices.
Is there any way to do this on a non-jailbroken device? Like a private API or modifying a file manually? (like the private API for changing brightness I found)
About the closest you're going to be able to get is to share the files so you can access them via iTunes and drag them to the library (in iTunes). Consider simply creating your own music library and player for sharing music.
I have a podcast page where the mp3 podcasts are played in an
"object" tag using windows Media Player. But they don't work in iPhone, iPad and iTouch. Is it because apple devices don't support WMP ?
Do I need to use HTML5 for this?
Yes, Apple won't support Microsoft products.
Also if you are creating cross platform application there will be such kind of chanllenges.
I would recommend using Flow Player, I have used it my past projects and it works like charm

I know the answer to this is probably no, but is there any way to add an AAC file to an iPhone's music library from another application? Apple's iPod library APIs allow for an application to use tracks from the library but I can't find anything to suggest it is possible to add them as well.
Unfortunately it is a one way process. Have a look at the About iPod Library Access.
iPod library access is the iOS interface for retrieving and playing
items from the device iPod library. The iPod library is the set of
media items on a device that a user has synced from iTunes on the
desktop.
Short of jailbreaking the device I dont think this is possible.
I would like to create an application that accesses and downloads podcasts specific to the app. At the same time, the new podcasts that the app downloads, I would like to add to the iPod music library on the device. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I haven't seen any apps that can download content (not just podcast) and add it to the iPod library of the iOS device.

That's because it's not possible.
Update: this is now possible for jailbroken devices. With my library, libipodimport, you can add songs to the iPod library.
