Does a central extension split over some finite index subgroup?

No. Deligne gave a famous example of a central extension $$ 1\to\mathbb{Z}/2\to \widetilde{G}\to G\to 1 $$ such that $G$ is a finite-index subgroup of $PSp(2n,\mathbb{Z})$ but $\widetilde{G}$ is not r …

Is there a finitely presented group with infinite homology over $\mathbb{Q}$?

Thompson's group F is an example. It's finitely presented and, according to this paper of Ken Brown, the integral homology is free abelian of rank 2 in every positive dimension.

finite complex with non-finitely generated homology with local coefficients

As Ricardo points out in the comments, there's an error in my sketched calculation below. I also didn't notice the requirement that $X$ should be finite, so the natural $BK$ fails on two counts! How …
