You shouldn't be wasting time on these ignorant people. They are not providing accurate sources, nor are they providing the authenticity of them narrations. Since them collections have weak, and sometimes even fabricated [false] reports.
the first hadith he quoted, we don't know if it's even authentic or not. Second, it was an insult by someone against the Prophet. And insults are usually false, especially when we consider how he was described in the authentic ahadith of being of a good build, and of medium height.
The second narration can be a fairytale because it's from Ibn Ishaq (just a collection of narrations, some true, and others false), the one who quoted it will have to verify if it is authentic.
Even if it was authentic - when someone gets older, at the age of around 57 - they put on weight more than their youth. And if we consider that the narration mention's Allah's Messenger wearing armour, from it's context it seems like the battle of Uhud. Allah's Messenger was injured, he was about 57 years of age, so it wouldn't be surprising if he could not climb a mountain easily with such an injury. Infact, him being in a battle and at the forefront [as is mentioned in other narrations] is a strong enough proof of his strength and bravery at such an age.
The other questions listed from 1 - 10 are a clear proof of this person's ignorance. He and his companions supported the state of Medinah, through taxes from non Muslims [Jizya], similar to taxes from Muslims [Zakat]. This supported the state and allowed it to function. Just like any other state. If people did acts of entertainment, like them Ethiopians playing with spears - they did it as a public display, which would not come at a cost.
The rest of the points have been addressed generally above and throughout the Muslim sites which refute anti-islamic claims.
