Will the Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET nuget package be provided for earlier Windows 10 releases as well? I see it is now only available for 19041? Or does this release work for older builds as well?

Currently we have released the package for 18362 and it has the projection for all the WinRT APIs released up to that version. Applications built using it should be compatible with both previous and later versions of Windows with one caveat. For previous versions of Windows for which your application is supported on, you need to ensure that the WinRT APIs you use are supported on it. If they aren't, you will need to either do feature light up for those APIs as discussed here or avoid using those APIs. We haven't decided yet for what other versions we will be releasing the package for and when.

Will this nuget package also include warnings when using an api that you need to feature-check on older builds?

There are currently no warnings for this case, but this is a good suggestion and I have opened #293 to track it.

If you create a netstandard2.0 library using the Windows.Devices.Bluetooth APIs via the Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET nuget package, will it allow you to reference it from an UWP head project? I'm getting errors with it, and created #290 for it

I responded to this in the issue you created for it.

Another simple question: why should I use Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET instead of Microsoft.Windows.SDK.Contracts ? Why should I reference "as assemblies" instead of "as contract"? Is the reason related to .NET Core?

As mentioned in the other responses and in my initial response, the Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET package is meant to be used with compilers / runtimes that don't have knowledge of WinRT (i.e .NET 5 as mentioned) and it currently distributes the projection with your app. For compilers / runtimes that do have knowledge of WinRT, you can continue to use the Microsoft.Windows.SDK.Contracts package.
