He's also been presenting the sports news segments on the BBC News Channel (or whatever it's called these days) recently.

This is going back to the pre-roof days but didn't is used to go out after Newsnight if it wasn't shown earlier in the evening?

The question there is what happens if coverage ends at at some point between 9:00 and 10:00. Will they start playing a programme on time shift that is still being made, and of course as it’s still being made it’ll be a full hour so can’t be cut down

Is the score graphic on Queens new or was it used last year?

It's new, I think Queen's and Eastbourne are the only examples that use the BBC's own tennis graphics, so it's been a wait since last year to see how they look. (Given the new look launched with Wimbledon).

That’s right.
For Queen’s and Eastbourne, the BBC are the host broadcaster and produce the world feed coverage.
At Wimbledon, the broadcast World Feed is actually self-produced by Wimbledon themselves with their own on-site facilities and the BBC take Wimbledon’s feeds. There is still a close partnership with the BBC though, and BBC commentary is provided for the world feed in many cases. Historically, the BBC was the host broadcaster there too but the tournament wanted to bring it in-house so they had more control over output.

IMG and Wimbledon Broadcast Services strange world feed titles though they even put world feed on the titles themselves.

I'm guessing BBC2 are strictly limited to 5 hours live coverage a day of Queens as even Murray has been bumped to the red button at 6pm.

Coverage stays on BBC Two post 6pm today. I have a vague recollection of that happenning in the past for a Murray match, but I think that was also a quarter-final, so maybe they're contractly only allowed to extend from Friday onwards?
The conclusion of this week's House of Games will now be aired at the less convenient time of 4pm on Saturday.

The same graphics as last year used on the qualifying coverage, which likely indicates they will be back in use next week. This will mark their fifth Championships being used since Wimbledon Broadcast Services took over as host broadcaster in 2018. I'm not really a fan, can't really put a finger on why exactly, but two things that do grate slightly is the cutting of names to fit on the scoreboard and the lack of showing previous sets' scores which is common practice elsewhere (even on the new BBC graphics for the first time).
Though there are new world feed titles (the previous one lasted a year), which once again are a trailer used as titles.
