I will try to answer all your questions in detail below, please let me know wether something remains unclear and requires more explanation
• Currently we have setup WordPress Archives but as far as we know we can also use Views. Can you explain the difference, and which is the better approaches?
I have answered a similar question here:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/creating-a-custom-search-for-custom-post-type-archive/
In short, the archive is something that WordPress generates for the Post Types.
It's a list of Post types, that is always available under the URL my-site.com/post-type-slug/post-slug or my-site.com/taxonomy-slug/taxonomy-term-slug (unless disabled in the Post Type)
A view, on the other hand, is a List of Posts, that you can insert everywhere you want, and customize the query, URL's and more.
Both can have Custom Searches, but only the View can be inserted everywhere and display it's results on other pages as well.
The archive, will always and only be available under the Archive URL.
Archives are great for SEO, since Google follows the "logical" URL structures much more likely than any custom URL.

• Does the Post Forms support Avada Fusion Builder?
No, Toolset Forms can be edited or styled only thru the native Toolset Post/User/Relationship Forms Edit Screen and only with the native Tools.
The builder you mention can be used only on Content Templates if related to Toolset:

• In Post Forms we need users to upload multiple images at once.
That is not possible, it is however requested to be, please upvote the request to let it gain traction:
https://toolset.com/feature-request/?wpv_post_search=upload&wpv_view_count=686737&wpv-wpcf-plugins=CRED
There are 2 requests you would have to upvote there:
- Use WordPress native Media uploader when handling Media in Toolset Forms
- Upload several files at once in repeating Image Fields
• In Post Forms also its important users to upload from external URLs. Is that possible?
You can let the user paste an URL, into a Single Line Field or URL Field, and then later you can either with custom code try to fetch the file and import it to the site, or simply link to it when you display it.
Uploading remotely in the sense of pasting an URL, and Forms would:
- fetch the data on the external server
- download it to a cache
- upload it to the site
is not possible
• When we use filter In Taxonomy, we want the url like hidden link but we receive hidden link
This is normal.
A) WordPress WP_Query acts on the URL parameters (which can be hidden if you use Views AJAX updated Search and do not update the URL for browser back navigation)
B) Views requires certain URL parameters to be present if the URL is shown, they cannot be removed or altered
Such request is as well filed and you can upvote it here:
https://toolset.com/feature-request/?wpv_post_search=url+param&wpv-wpcf-plugins=Views&wpv_view_count=686737
Customize and produce pretty URL parameters in Views pagination and search
• When we use filter in custom field the url is hidden link where as you can understand we can use it. If we remove the wpv_view_count=43472& the filter it works and is what we need.
This is the same request as above, those URL parameters are used by Views (for example, if you have several Views on the same page...)
The same request as for the previous point can be the solution to this problem.
• Can we use cookie on a Filter to keep the user value?
No, this is not possible without custom code.
I have seen this discussed here in past:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/filtering-all-views-on-all-pages-set-by-one-custom-filter/
I have no feature request filed for this, if you want, I can do so, and put it on the same list as shard above, where users can upvote and we eventually implement if deceided positively by the persons in charge.
• We would like, infinity scrolling to pass the page url parameter &page=2
I think this is again a request:
https://toolset.com/feature-request/?wpv_post_search=infinite+scroll&wpv_view_count=686737
Update URL when using infinite scroll so to allow backwards navigation
This one is rejected, because of technical reasons.
Rejected does not mean it is impossibly ever done. It means, right now, it won't be done, but depending on users votes and more, we may re-consider.
You can still upvote it to push it's weight.
• We also want both, infinity scrolling and paging
That is not possible together, however, there is a feature in the works (slated for a future Views release) that allows a Load More of an infinite scroll mimicking behaviour:
https://toolset.com/feature-request/?wpv_post_search=infinite+scroll&wpv_view_count=686737
Add an AJAX manual pagination effect: “Load more”
Thanks!
