Probably no more tax relief available. But I can't confirm. Will need to do a bit of a refresher.
Can consider contribute to RA if you want a higher RSS payout. Now that RSS money will last till 90 and not 95, you'll get a higher amount per year paid out. Alternatively, another private annuity may work with no capital drawdown but lower yield due to his age.
Do also check directly from CPF but I'm also assuming all his SA and OA is available with SA being the first account out first for withdrawal then OA. So 359k.
I say to beat 2.5% in OA with minimal risk is possible but 4% in SA, very unlikely. The only issue is he can't just take out OA money only. He has to take out SA money first. So maybe keeping in CPF could be the better option. But not saying it's not possible to beat CPF rates if you're open to some risk, but once you take out, cannot put back in.

1) The max amount for tax relief would be 7k. This is because the RA is less than the current FRS (currently $176000 for YA2020). The current FRS amount changes every year.
2) Same as for the daughter in (1).
3) I don't think you can contribute to your father's OA/SA/MA as you can only contribute to your own account? Not sure if I am interpreting your question correctly. To assess whether you should do voluntary contribution to your own CPF would require more details on your current profile.
4) The following link by heartland boy details the calculation.

You will need to dig out the basic retirement sum for your dad's age and determine if you have sufficient property pledge.
5) It is hard for bonds to hit a higher % than CPF (unless u are referring to corporate/junk bonds). If you want a higher % it would be better to invest in equities but I would not really recommend that for your dad's age.
I'm not an expert in CPF so my answers may not be completely correct - do drop your questions to CPF I believe they will be able to answer them better (except for the last question)
