I'm doing the SEO for an e-commerce platform.
The product detail page is already optimized, but there's also an overview of product categories.
Here's a wireframe of the category page:
The images within the yellow box are products applied to the active category cat 1.
Do you have any suggestions or hints for the use of Schema.org on the category section (cat1 - cat4) page?
I use List for category sites to enable a carousel of lists to appear in Search.

I would like to use a category page as a template to show the "Pages in category..." on another page, but when I attempt to template the category page it only shows the details written on the category page itself. Not the list of pages in the category.
Is there any way to access this "Pages in category..." section outside of the category page itself?
For example, on a DnD wiki there is a category of type of spell in a class. Each of the spell pages for Druids is created and each of those spell pages has the Druid_Spells category. Then, the Category:Druid_Spells page has a text and some details added onto it.
I'm attempting to make a separate Druid page that has details about the class, but I don't want to manually edit and maintain the list of Druid spells. I would like to be able to pass the list of druid spells from the category onto the Druid page and as druid spells are added or changed the category would handle updating the list for me.
However, when I add this to the Druid page:
= Druid Spells =
{{:Category:Druid_Spells}}
It is only passing the text of the Druid_Spells category page. It isn't showing the "Pages in category Druid_Spells..." and listing all of them alphabetically like the category page itself does.
I would prefer not having to use the Druid spells category page itself because I would like to tie other category pages into the main Druid page, like skills and abilities.
Transclude a category in MediaWiki is a similar question, but all of the answers are extensions. Is this possible without an extension?

The markup shows 472 reviews. But, in SERP, only 1 review count is shown. Can someone advice?
SERP results
I agree with unor. Your many separate types Product contradict Google’s Guide for Product:
There are two types of pages where you would typically use this
markup: a product page that describes a single product a shopping
aggregator page that lists a single product, along with information
about different sellers offering that product
And further:
Use markup for a specific product, not a category or list of products.
After I implemented JSON-LD format for products on my website, I could see the following preview button on Google Structured Data Testing Tool:
I hope Google has implemented Rich Cards for just Articles, Recipes and Video till now. Does it mean that Rich cards for Products are on the way?
Note: The products structured data is shown in Google Search Console and has no errors.
Google offers a product rich result for Google Search and for Google Images.
It makes use of Schema.org’s Product and Offer/AggregateOffer (and, optionally, AggregateRating and Review) types.
Can anyone bring closer the difference between categories and tags in tx_news to me?
So far I have used only categories for the news section. for example, improve the internal filter by organizers or venue.
In the meantime about 130 categories have gathered.
How can I use meaningful tags?
It is hard to differ because it always depends as well on the use case as well but I will try.
Categories
Categories are shown as a tree structure, therefore a category has
always a parent category (if it is not a root category) and categories
on the same level. Categories can be translated.
Tags
Tags are not sorted at all. Tags can not be translated currently (patch pending).
Example
Imagine a news website with typical categories like Sport, Web and Politics. Those categories can have sub categories to get a tree like that
Sport
- Baseball
- Basketball
Web
- IT
- Trends
Politics
- Party 1
- Party 2
Tags can now be used to add additional information which can be then used later for filtering, creating landing pages, .... Those tags could be
viral trend
christmas
winners
You could add as many tags as you want, just as hashtags you are used at twitter or facebook, instagram, ...
I am introducing rich snippets on my site and have some questions I can't find solution:
Do I need to put main company snippet only on mainpage or all pages (contacts, social networks, etc) - I mean copy the code on all links?
How do I do the beauty two columns snippets with the main site links, and how do I define what these main links are? - Example when we search Facebook we see: Facebook Login, Facebook Register, Facebook Profile, etc... all with a brief description below. Are there the separate pages that contain snippet and google identifies the most relevant? What code to put on each page?
If you are trying to add knowledge graph items you just need to markup your homepage only. For individual rich snippet items like star ratings, breadcrumbs etc you'll have to mark each page for them to show up for all of your search results.
Contact and Social profiles as you mentioned are knowledge graph items.
In the second part I am assuming you are referring to the links below the branded search result. The are not rich snippets but are rather called sitelinks and are generated if you have good on-site structure and internal linking. Sitelinks are picked by Google itself and you have little control over them.
