Why you needed those?  It appears that if you will try on your
system 'package-cleanup --orphans' then you will get quite a list.

"Multiarch" does not necessarily mean every possible thing both in
64 and 32 bit variants.  But if you have such ambitions then add to
your repo definitions 'fedora32' and 'updates32' which will look
in principle like what you have already but instead of
"arch=$basearch" they will have an explicit "arch=i386".

See above but do not be surprised if you will bump into file
conflict on occassions.

Your box is already multiarch, unless you mean something else under
this name,  but if you will install 32-bit compilers, for example,
then they better will not be in the same $PATH as "native" stuff.
You may fare better with a virtual 32-bit (sub)installation if you
have such plans.
