What is DP_rarity ?
DP_rarity = 1 << (problem - 2 * kangoo_power) // 2 - 2

Is DP_rarity  same  DP method  (distinguished point DP) right?

Yeah this is just a fancy way of making a DP mask.

if P.x % DP_rarity == 0:

What is code check ? Modulus to zero  this mean collision ?

No it checks whether the point is a DP with its x-coordinate.

Where are people finding the compressed or uncompresssed public keys for the puzzle transactions?

Every fifth transaction starting at #65 also has a spending transaction that reveals the public key.
