To which type of Fundamental forces below the Pauli's exclusion belong?

Strong nuclear forces
Coulomb forces
Weak nuclear forces
Gravitational forces

The Pauli exclusion principle exists independently of the fundamental forces. It exists also among non-interacting particles of the same kind (if such actually existed).

I asked a similar question a while ago, and there were a few pages of discussion that you may like to read through: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=409034

That thread also contains links to other threads and websites.

Has anyone formulated thay the PEP as an entropic force, or proven that it can't be?

The exclusion principle and it's resulting "something-which-looks-like-a-force" are unrelated to entropy. These are two completely different concepts. Entropy is not even a property of a micro system (i.e., a system in a pure state)!
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
