New kitchen wiring questions

We are remodeling our kitchen. Actually moving most of it to the dinning room so none of the circuits will get reused. I'm doing the electrical work myself. I've pulled a permit. I did this once before in a previous house and it was permitted and inspected but that was about 10 years ago. From my research it seems like a few codes have probably changed in the last 10 years or so.

Questions:
1 - Tamper resistant outlets required everywhere?

2 - what's AFCI requirements? GFCI is/was pretty standard for small appliance circuits but now I'm seeing AFCI. It looks like that happens at the panel but what circuits require the AFCI protection?

3 - We will have a separate (not over the range) microwave on a dedicated circuit. Range will be natural gas and a range hood over the range with no cabinets over the range. In other words, I don't see a microwave ever going in over the range unless someone does another remodel later. The gas range needs a dedicated circuit. Does the range hood also need its own dedicated circuit? I can't see these two drawing amps even close to what a small appliance circuit would see.

I know the inspector has the final say on all of this but right now I'm trying to get a handle on what to expect and trying to avoid as much rough-in rework as possible.
