1. columns and marginal notes conflict:

For some of the issues, it would be perhaps a good idea to make proper

In some other venue?

In a separate thread, with a minimal example, that one can copy-paste and
see the error. Trying to guess what is wrong is difficult.

I tried that several times and got no response.  Since you insist on
seeing lots of lorem ipsum, the following example:

This example is not minimal. You are mixing four things together, and still not giving complete information. Ideally you should have one **minimal** example for each problem. See below for an example.

is meant to illustrate four problems:

1. Leftward protrusion doesn't work.
2. I don't think hz is working in footnotes.

The font I'm using is Adobe Garamond Premiere Pro.  If you think there
might be a problem with the typescript, I can show you that too.

These two are related to font. Either show that something is wrong with default typescripts (lmodern, times, palatino, etc) else it means that tosmething is wrong with your typescript. But first you have to narrow down the problem

3. Observe footnote 1 (the only one).  It is breaking between p.1 and
p.2.  I want to forbid that.

I don't know how to prevent this. But again, this has nothing to do with columns or fonts.

4. Notice the overprinting near the top of p.2 c.1.  That is a
marginal note that should go into the right margin.

Here is a minimal example (no page setup, font setup, or styles needed to show the problem)

\starttext
\startcolumns

\input knuth
\input tufte
\column
\input tufte
\inmargin{This is in wrong margin}
\input knuth
\stopcolumns
\stoptext

The marin note in 2nd column is displayed in the 1st column. This is artifact of the way in which TeX constructs columns: first creating a long and narrow page and then splitting it into two. I don't know at what stage of the OTR are margin notes inserted, and if there is a workaround. Maybe others can help.

What is the proper way to raise or lower a bit of text?  I just spent
...

\raisebox{1ex}{?}

When I try:

\raisebox{1ex}{--}

Context stops on the error:

"A <box> was supposed to be here

\raisebox{1ex}{
                --}"

Provide a box :-) \raisebox{1ex}{\hbox{--}} (untested)

\raisebox{1em}\hbox{--}
