Feathered Beaming
I have a passage that I'd like to try to use feathered beaming in. When selecting the passage (I used 64th notes for the subdivision) the beams remained the same. Is there a step I am missing, or should I try another subdivision?

Select the beam, then double click the fethered beam icon in the beams palette

Sometimes the beam changes position then but not layout: It doesn't "feather".
An example is in the File attachments: (How do I replicate) the bar in the picture (?)
(Also how do I get the spacing in between the notes "right": The 2nd whole note (2nd Piano) is placed further right than the half + 8 eights + the whole + a few eights notes (1st Piano) ?)

Did you use the feather icon in the palette? it works for me. We can't tell what might have gone wrong in your case from just a picture - we would need the actual score. Same goes for the spacing question.

As I said: As soon as I drag the feather icon onto the beam, it just changes direction.

You can't feather a single beam; there is nothing to feather. You need to add the notes as sixteenths or shorter.
I'm also having some problems with this.
I have a passage, that lasts about as long as indicated in attachement "1", but the notes don't have to be played exactly to the beat. Now, I tried making them all 16th-notes, beaming them together and making it a feathered beam (as shown in attachements "2", "3" and "4"), but as you can see, they don't have one massive feathered beam together. Is that just not possible, or am I missing something?

Hard to say, but it would be easier if you attached the actual score (or a relevant excerpt) rather than just pictures. FWIW, though, since it is not a real;l;y specific rhythm you are after, probably part of the solution would be the lose the internal tuplet.
