It's from sunrise to sunset, no? Can't you get it on at night instead of during the day?

Don't know how this works for Muslims, but if it's anything like for Christians, the goal is to not have the desires to begin with, not just refrain from acting on them (though that's a good start).

Technically, yes. Many treat it similar to NNN, though. As in sex with spouses is fine, but they take advantage of the holy month to quit pornography.

How can average Joe have no desires? I understand and know that monk-like complete refrain from worldy pleasures really leads to having no desires at all (a type of ego-death), and this has some place in Islam too, although it is not obligatory for every muslim. In Ramadan, the goal for a muslim is to not act upon forbidden desires for Allah’s sake.

I’m skeptical of this point. Growing up Baptist, I was taught that temptation itself is not a sin because Christ was sinless and he was tempted in the desert by the devil.

Which is an empty exercise. You can't "stop having desires" for a month. Just another ritual to control the population, huh?
