Can i connect the router to a public 5 ghz only wifi network, then broadcast to my devices in 2.4 ghz?

Yes, you could do so. You could connect to public 5GHz Wi-Fi through Repeater mode and then share the internet to your devices through 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. https://docs.gl-inet.com/en/4/user_guide/gl-a1300/internet/#repeater

In addition to samba (storage) does the usb port support printers?

It doesn’t work with USB printer by default. You need to install necessary driver and printer server (cups).

Does this unit do load balancing among multiple carrier hotspots so that a failure of 1 does not lose connection entirely?

Yes, you can use multiple interfaces at the same time to increase the total bandwidth of the router. The system will assign interfaces to new connections based on the load ratio.

Can you use this to connect to hotels wifi when it requires you to open a browser and enter your name and email address?

I am currently using it in a hotel where I have to login using a password and clicking a t&c’s check box every 24hrs. So I use this product to make my life easier!! after the 24hrs times out the first device that connect to the internet (Amazon echo show for me) automatically opens the hotel landing page and I login and now all my devices can connect to the internet without having to login on every device separately
