Why are there so many strangely dehumanizing and degrading narrations regarding women in Sunni texts, while the Shia ones are much more logical and just? Why is there such a contrast?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Simply, the Shia narrations are taken from the Prophet (SAWA) through the most authentic source who are Ahlul Bayt (AS) while Sunni narrations are mixture from different sources including untrusted narrators like Abu Huraira who narrated that Prayers is invalid if you see a woman or a donkey or a dog. (Saheeh Muslim , V.4, P.228).

'Some Sunni narrations claim that the woman is like a goat (Al-Qurtobi 15:172).

In what specific matters does a husband need to maintain equality if he has more than one wife? What do the narrations say regarding a person who does not treat his two wives in the same manner?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Husband must maintain practical justice between his wives. Practical justice is in treating them and spending time with each of them equally like he spends time with his other wives. It also requires spending on each of them equally.

Are there any narrations in Shia books that show that the Prophet (s) led Taraweeh prayers in congregation?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No. There is no single narration that the Prophet ever led Taraweeh neither in Sunni nor in Shia books. Taraweeh was initiated in the year 14 after Hijra by Umar Ibn Al-Khattab as he himself called it a Bid'ah and said it is a good Bid'ah. (Saheeh Al-Bukhari, Salat Al-Taraweeh.)

I believe there are narrations that suggest that Imam al-Mahdi (as) will be martyred and Imam Hussein (as) will perform Namaz of Janaza. Does that mean that Imam Hussein (as) will be reborn?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

There is no re birth but resurrections or return to this life which known as  Raj'ah رجعة.

Raj'ah is the return of best servants of Allah and worst enemies of Allah to this life again to witness the victory of Islam and the punishment of its enemies. It is mentioned in Quran ( Sura Ghaafir, verse 11).

Imam Hussain (AS) will come back to this life in Raj'ah.

Wassalam.
