Is there an API in OSX that I can use to launch my application when users open any app? Something like a global App Launched event?
No. There is no meaningful multitasking functionality in iOS API.

I want to create a agent app for iOS in Swift.
Is there a way to start a iOS App automatically when the iphone starts up?
And, Is there a way to prohibit manually stop a iOS App?
It is impossible to start an iOS application automatically when the iPhone starts up. For more informations take a look at the Life Cycle of an iOS app from the Apple documentation: Managing Your App's Life Cycle
With the public API it's impossible. If there is a private API which would help to develop such an application, it will be impossible to publish this app to the AppStore.
I have an iOS app that must be launched from the safari via URL scheme. And I want to test it with Appium.
I managed to launch the safari and then click on the link that launches the app. The problem is, I am having trouble interacting with said app afterwards. Is it possible with Appium and iOS to send commands to an app that was launched from the browser?
You should be able to interact with safari using something like this
driver.FindElementByXPath("//UIATextField[#value='Enter URL']")
.SendKeys("www.google.com");
Is there a way I could make links to my website open in the web app if the user has it installed on their home screen? Like if there is a link to my website in the Facebook app, how do I tell the iPhone to open the web app and not safari?
I know native apps can do this, and you can open one app from another... but can the same be done with a web app and native app or two web apps (open one web app from another)?
It's probably super far fetched, but it would be a nice feature!
Yeah, it would be a nice feature... but unfortunately you can't yet. iOS 8 may be?
I know this question sounds silly at first glance, but how could customers and testers who do not have an Apple iPad or iPhone to use and test my app actually "run" the app?
Is there something like a web hosted service, which would allow them to test it in a web browser instead on a real device?
No, there is no official native full-featured iOS simulator for the web. But if you create one, please tell me.
Another option could be a service like app.io.
I believe they have a free tier that would allow you to run your app on the web on a limited basis.
How do I prevent iOS from dimming and/or locking the screen of my WEB app?
This is for a WEB app, so any native code suggestion would not apply.
The WEB app would run without user input and I'd like to avoid iOS automatically dimming/locking the screen (without turning the setting off in the global settings).
Is there a way for a WEB app to tell iOS not to dimm/lock the screen?
If the above is not available, is there any third party app that would monitor the system and turn off screen locking/dimming when a given web app is running?
Thanks.
No you can not turn off the autolock from a WebApp. Also there is no way for any thirdparty app to detect this, since apps can not really run in the background.
