The burden of prophet hood is very heavy and Allah (SWT) who can carry it . Only 124000 prophets were among billions of human beings which means that most of people can not carry such heavy burden.
Women can never carry the responsibility of prophet hood not only because that it is very heavy, and because of the physiology of menstruation and pregnancy, but also because of the fact that prophets are sent to men and women, yet men opposed and denied , and woman can not deal with men especially when there is a challenge against those who deny the message and try to eliminate the prophet or his message. We read in Quran about prophets who were killed ( Is it that whenever a messenger came to you with what yourselves do not desire, you grew arrogant, some of them you denied and some you killed ) (Al-Baqarah ; 87).
Most pious ladies in human history (Lady Fatimah, Khadija, Zainab, Maryam and Asiya ) who suffered a lot in the way of Allah, were never prophets simply because arrogant men will not accept a message from Allah through them.
Bay’ah is promising to follow and obey. It did happen during the time of pervious prophets like when Easa Jesus (AS) asked people from Bani Israel : Who are my supporters? His disciples replied: We are the supporters of Allah (3:52). That was just an example of Bay’ah.
Levels of Jannah (Paradise) are too many according to the good deeds and the sincerity in achieving them. Every good deed has a degree n Paradise according to the level of sincerity of the person in doing it.
We have Hadeeth (The levels of Jannah are like the number of the verses of Quran, that is why, the Momin who recited Quran wil be told in the Paradise, Go up in the degrees of Jannah as much as you recited from Quranic verses.
Thank you for your question. I think that this is a misconception as all of the beauty and greatness of the Imams (as) is derived and inherited from the Prophet (saw) and so when the Shia praise the Imams (as) that is not separate from their appreciation of the Prophet (saw). From a theological perspective, the Shia need to discuss the qualities of the Imams to understand how they are rightful inheritors of the Prophet (saw) and for this reason, they spend time trying to understand those qualities.
