Comment Reply javascript
You should really use comment_form() instead of rolling your own. Still, if you must, make sure that: The textarea has id=”comment”. The wrapping container around the entire comment form (probably a DIV) has id=”respond”.

Linking to Page Showing Only Comments Without Parent Post
You could probably just create a new page in WordPress, and give that page a custom template. Then the url would just be whatever it normally would be to get to that page.

How to add internal, revision comments to page updates
I’ve often thought this would make a good feature, though I’ve never seen a plugin for it. I think the term “comment” is probably throwing off your search. I wouldn’t think that this would be stored as a comment internally, but rather as metadata for the post. I did a search for plugins using the … Read more
Custom comment type based on thread level
I don’t know why somebody downvoted this question. This is a GREAT question. Yeah, that’s totally possible. What you would want to do is use comment_meta to store the titles.

Paginate result set from $wpdb->get_results()

Redirect user to a custom url after submitting the comment
Not quite; the redirect occurs inline inside wp-comments-post.php Use the filter comment_post_redirect to pass back any URL of your choice. Arguments passed are the default redirect & comment object, respectively. Based on your comments, here’s a suggestion: function wpse_58613_comment_redirect( $location ) { if ( isset( $_POST[‘my_redirect_to’] ) ) // Don’t use “redirect_to”, internal WP var … Read more
How to change the email notification recipient (user) for new comments?
