It might sound backwards, but we have a need to move a Azure Devops project of epic's, User stores tasks etc, as well as all existing comments, links, and dependencies to a TFS environment, can this tool do that?
Yes you can using the Azure DevOps Migration Tools.

I have a Microsoft Azure SQL Database project. I also have a Python3.9 project that uses unittest to unit test this database project. I have an Azure DevOps build pipeline defined in YAML that runs the unit test against the development-integration environment.
I do not want to publish changes to the development-integration environment before running the tests. If you think this is the wrong approach, I will consider your arguments.
I want to 'virtually' test the changes. I want to deploy the new objects to a temporary ad-hoc database instance. It must be equivalent to Azure Database Instance. When the tests have been executed I want to clear everything away. I do not want to deploy a database in Azure for this purpose due to billing, although if I were to use a serverless instance this would not be a problem.
Any ideas?
If you are on cloud and you need to test you need to test that on the cloud too.
You cannot "virtually" test, there is nothing equivalent to Azure SQL database on-prem.
Go with the serverless instance as you said.
Can nkdagility be used to convert Microsoft Test Manager Test to Azure DevOps? If not what is the suggested path for conversion?
Yes: the Azure DevOps Migration Tools support this with many caviats.
Found from migration options doc that manual migration is possible .But for azure Devops server 2019 pipelines and history migrate to azure Devops services? is there any tools to do that?

You could try to use the Azure devops extension Migration Tools for Azure DevOps, which allow you to migrate Teams, Work Items, and Plans & Suits from one Project to another in Azure DevOps/TFS both within the same Organization, and between Organizations. But this without history and This tool is complicated and its not always easy to discover what you need to do.
If you insist on keeping the history, you could also try to use the 3rd tool OpsHub Visual Studio Online Migration Utility. It migrates historical information for work items, version control change sets, test cases, test results, and all the relationships between two tools in an incremental manner.
Note: No matter which tool is used, or manual migration, we may not be able to get results were not a perfect copy, but overall the results were actable.
I am looking for a way to store a global variable (password) that can be used with all Team Projects in our TFS collection. This will be used in our build/release process. Currently we are on TFS 2017.3 but plan on upgrading to Azure DevOps 2019 soon.
I've tried using the Library and variable groups in TFS, but these must be entered for each team project which we have over 200 of.
Currently there is not out-of-the-box option like this.
There is a feature request here with a lot of up-votes, so I hope Microsoft will add this useful feature soon.
After you upgrade to Azure DevOps server, you can use the Azure Key Vault task to pull data from Azure Key Vault. You can have as many Vaults as you like and use in one or all Projects.
At my company we are currently using TFS 2010 which has installed on-premise and we are developing application on it that it is contiouusly being deployed on Microsoft Azure platform.
Our plan is to upgrade our TFS 2010 to version TFS 2015 and host it on a VM on our Azure subscription since this will ease our continuous deployment speed very much by removing network latency, in addition we will be able to use TFS new features.
Question I have is,
What do we have to do to move all TFS project work items, user stories and source code to successfully finish this move and upgrade process.
Before you give your answers, please take into account that we also want to create a local users on new TFS server and map domain users which they are created on the company's active directory server, on Azure VM and during TFS movement we would like to be able to show moved changesets, workitems... everything have been created in TFS database with the newly created local users on the Azure VM.
Firstly, please have a check on this blog for the details on how to do migration upgrade for TFS: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tfssetup/archive/2013/12/19/migration-upgrade-from-tfs-2012-to-tfs-2013-with-reporting-and-sharepoint.aspx (This blog is about how to upgrade from TFS2012 to TFS2013, it applies to TFS2010 to TFS2015 as well)
Then after the TFS server is moved/upgraded successfully, create a user on Azure.
