Can we disallow finite choice?
You might want topos theory. A topos is something like the category of sets, but the internal logic of a general topos is much weaker than ZF; it need not even be Boolean. An example of a topos is t …

Why do I find Category Theory mostly just a way to make simple things difficult?
As a topologist/category theorist with an interest in type systems I can assure you that I find pages full of sequents hard to understand :)
Actually I think the approaches are complementary. Suppos …

When are two proofs of the same theorem really different proofs
Some other answers have alluded to this, but just to spell it out explicitly: The Curry-Howard isomorphism, in one of its simpler forms, says that objects of the free cartesian closed category CCC[S] …

What is a logic?
I think there is supposed to be a correspondence between logics and kinds of category, e.g.,
(higher order?) classical logic
elementary topos with some extra properties?
(higher order?) in …

What is a reference for an explicit, logic-based, statement of duality in category theory (i...
I would go even farther than the comments above, at least in the specific case you mention about computing (co)limits objectwise in a functor category. Once you know the statement for limits, deducin …

What's the terminology for a sequent-like variant of category?
It sounds like you want the notion of a polycategory.

What is neutral constructive mathematics
I don't know the history of the phrase "neutral constructive mathematics", but I would guess that it is meant to be analogous to "neutral geometry". Neutral geometry (or absolute geometry) is the part …

Logical problems in category theory
I think you are just reading the wrong books. The most common solution to these problems is indeed Grothendieck universes. Really, these issues are not that big a deal, not because they are logicall …

Naturally definable sets of natural numbers
Question 3: Can every finite set of natural numbers be defined by a natural formula?
If I understand correctly, the answer is yes: We can always rewrite $x = n_0 \vee x = n_1 \vee ... \vee x = n_ …

L^α_{β,γ}: do we need both α and β for model theory?
They are not the same when $\beta$ exceeds the cofinality of $\gamma$. In that case, we can form in $\mathcal{L}^{\infty}_{\beta,\gamma}$ a disjunction of existentials each of which binds fewer than $ …
