Is it possible that the reason the delayed choice two slit experiment outcomes occur is because for the photon, traveling at the speed of light, the past, present and future are all as one, and therefore it "knows" what is going to happen and therefore always "makes the right choice" at the slit re adopting a wave or a particle state?

No. The delayed choice has nothing to do with retrocausal influence on the experiment but just with the possibility to choose subensembles of the full ensemble of measured photons due to the measurement protocol containing the appropriate information. It's a bit difficult to explain without a concrete example. One of the most simple ones is the "quantum eraser" experiment proposed by Scully et al and first realized experimentally by Walborn et al:

I think, to understand the fascinating possibility of "postselection" due to quantum theory, it's good to read this paper. Then ask specific questions here in the forum when you have difficulties with it.

More generally, you should also get rid of some unfortunately common misconceptions in popular-science writings about quantum theory. Many authors use outdated concepts from the socalled "old quantum theory" and use the corresponding old-fashioned concepts like "wave-particle duality". Theoretical physics is, however, all about finding mathematical intrinsically consistent models (or even theories) that describe as accurately as possible observed facts, and "old quantum theory" was not satisfactory even for its discoverers (among them Planck, Einstein, Bohr, and de Broglie). That's why after an amazingly short time modern quantum theory has been discovered around 1925/26, and not only once but already in three different equivalent forms: matrix mechanics (Heisenberg, Born, Jordan), wave mechanics (Schrödinger), and "transformation theory" (Dirac). The latter is the most general form and usually taught at universities today.

Although a pleasure for experimentalists interested in the foundation of quantum theory for technical reasons, photons are among the most difficult concepts of the theory, because you need relativistic quantum field theory to accurately describe them. For no other elementary quantum field the idea to think about it in terms of classical particles as it is for photons. The classical limit are rather classical electromagnetic waves (i.e., coherent states in the quantum language). It's not even possible to define a position observable for them!

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
According to recent podcast between Jacob Barandes and Sean Carroll, Barandes claims that putting a sensitive qubit near one of the slits of a double slit interference experiment is sufficient to break the interference pattern. Here are his words from the official transcript: Is that true? Caveats I see: The qubit is a quantum object, so if the particle was in a superposition of up and down, the qubit can be in a superposition too. Measuring the qubit in an orthogonal direction might...
