Would 5.5 x 2.1 mm female plug work inside a 5.5 x 2.5 mm male jack for DC power?

Not all plugs are created equal. Some plugs have full, uniform tubes that have little tolerance, and a nominal 2.5mm center pin will not fit inside one designed for a 2.1mm pin. They look like this: (...

How can I make a more permanent connection to cheap sensors?

Looks like they're 2.54mm pitch and flat, so you could use a SIP or DIP socket such as an 8-pin socket like you'd use for an 8-pin DIP IC. Not the machined type, which probably won't fit well, the ...

What does this connector symbol mean in a charger schematic?

Select jumper. It's a 3-pin SIP header with a shorting cap that fits over two of them so you can connect PULL UP to Ext or R24 by moving it from one position to the other.
