Do you know how far ships stray away from their encampments?
Also, are pagodas still the best religion enhancement?

I don't think you can forgo your turn - just propose something low-impact.
Yeah, there's a show queue-button in the city interface.

I've only encountered galleys in my games, so not across the seas at least. They can appear unexpectedly to plunder trade routes so having a trireme or two to guard coastal trade isn't a bad idea.
It depends a bit, the extra art slot from cathedral is possibly more useful when playing tall and missing the art slots from Uffizi, Louvre or Sistine Chapel.

I have a spy in a city. If I move him to another city, can I make him a diplomat?

Yeah, but you have to place them in a capital to get the diplomat option.

Another question: If a civ has three delegates (two for themselves on one from a cs ally) can I buy all three? Or can I only trade for the ones the civ has for themselves (2 delegates)?
How much does a delegate typically "cost"?

I bought delegates earlier and got the "core delegation" - the ones the civ has by default, other modifiers excluded.
The cost varies on what is being decided on, naturally. Getting an AI player to vote against their own interests is going to be very expensive and I don't think you can get them to vote you as world leader at all.
I have a question about this. How do you even TRY to get people to vote for you for HOST or WORLD LEADER? At least, the vote for host suddenly pops when a certain situation is fullfilled (X civs reached tech Y) and I don't get to ask people to vote for me beforehand. What am I doing wrong? Same for World Leader or... ?

It doesn't, as long as 1) you didn't start razing it after you puppeted/annexed it and 2) you don't stop the razing process at any time. Either/both will permanently result in the bump to SP costs.
Vote for Host can't be manipulated since it's so sudden. Maybe if you already have a diplomat in another capital when the vote opens, but I haven't tried that.
Update: This can't be done. "Trades cannot be made when the World Congress is in session."
World leader vote, on the other hand, is known in advance so you can try and buy votes for you or another civ.
I'm pretty sure I tried yesterday and I couldn't, the World Leader vote isn't in the trade list with a diplomat. Maybe I remember wrong, but I remember giving up and sending my diplomats to my weakest City State allies to at least protect those.

It is, but the AI won't trade them. Not once has an AI agreed to sell their delegates to me on a leader vote.

Damn, I had a situation like this but didn't bother to check. Please tell us when the next vote comes!

I can't speak on World Leader votes, but in one game I had, Alexander liberated Maria Theresa after she'd been completely wiped off the map, and from then on, she voted for him every time the World Congress held a host vote.

This might be a stupid question, but is it possible to play with civs from G&K in BNW?
VainoValkea
Emperor
Yes, as long as you have G&K too. The only G&K Civ that's included in BNW itself is Ethiopia (as it is a part of Scramble for Africa).
