Can it convert handwriting to text?

As of today's software update (23 May 2023) you can now email yourself complete notebooks converted to simple text files.

Does this support screen sharing on a PC or Zoom call?

This is not mentioned in the product information. There are other options for e-ink writing tablets that can share the screen with other devices. You're not really going to find an e-ink device that can handle a video or audio call. E-ink displays can't work fast enough, and I don't know of any with a camera, and this one doesn't even have a speaker or microphone. You would probably be better to buy a standard Android/Apple tablet with a stylus that can share its screen if you require such screen sharing and video/audio calls on the same device, plus you could get handwriting recognition and speech to text. Although, a standard tablet will not have the same 'distraction-free' performance.

Why doesn’t it have ‘read aloud’? Isn’t it about time Kindle had this now common-place feature for people with reading disabilities? .

I says in the blurb it does; the early kindles did but then they stopped it to promote audible books. What I read said this will have text to speak: "VoiceView screen reader, available over Bluetooth audio, provides spoken feedback allowing you to navigate your device and read books with text-to-speech (available in English only)."
