In all attitudes during positive G flight, in what general direction is the lift vector pointing in relation to the pilot?

In the general direction of the pilo's spine (out the top of the pilot's head) when sitting erect in the cockpit

It points at nearly the same direction as the nose of the airplane

The lift vector is alway parallel the wing spar

What is the primary objective during every upset recovery?

Regain and/or maintain control of the airplane

Minimize altitude loss

Preserve airspeed as it's the most important factor

What are the four methods to determine which recovery rudder to use in a fully-developed spin?

Turn Indicator (not the ball), "go with the flow", high or heavy rudder, pick one

"step on the sky", ball, heading indicator, seat of the pants

standby heading, high wing, ball, high or heavy rudder

Is the early stage of an incipient spin more like a stall or spin?

Stall

Spin

Are there airplane types or some stall situations that require a physical push (pushing with pressure) on the yoke or stick instead of just allowing the aircraft to unload on its own by releasing pressure?

Yes. As a stall becomes more developed (or severe), the pilot may have to physically push forward on the yoke to successfully reduce angle of attack below critical.

No. Airplanes are certified to self recover in all stalls by simply releasing back pressure on the stick or yoke.
