German's the language for finite group theory. Just throwin' that in.

You should mention when you crosspost a question (math.stackexchange.com/q/289595/12952) to MSE so that when it is answered on one site, people on the other site will know about it.

@NickGill Done. I understand the confusion - I am not sure why the curly braces are not showing up around $p,q$.

I had read about that result and figured this might be the case. Does this central subgroup technique extend to odd primes (e.g. looking at $g(p,k)=$ the fraction of groups of order $p^k$ with the property)?

comment How do I determine the smallest dimension of an irreducible $\mathbb{F}_p[G]$-module with a prescribed trivial fixed point space?
Also from what I understand of Brauer theory, representations of $H$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$ do not differ from those of $\mathbb{C}$ when $(q,|H|)=1$ (I think?), so perhaps this could be used in some way to find the minimum dimension. I think there are a couple results in Huppert's character theory book about representations of Frobenius complements, but the bounds aren't very strict.

Well if the entire $p'$-group $H$ acts fixed point freely on an elementary abelian group $E$ then $E\rtimes H$ is a Frobenius group with kernel $E$. Evidently Frobenius groups with abelian kernels have been classified up to isomorphism in Ch. 13 of this memoir: google.com/… but it is way above my head I am not sure whether one can get the minimum dimension from it.

I don't know the answer. I guess it must be too hard.
