Does this tripod have a place to hang a weight?
Does this tripod have a place to hang a weight?
The central post does not have a hook to hang a weight. At the level of hinges (for the legs) there is an open "loop" from which you can hang a weight. Not sure if it was included for other purposes but it is large enough to hook a small carabiner and then a weight from it.

Can it be used as a monopod?
Can it be used as a monopod?
No. The center column is only about 12” long and is not removable as far as I can tell. This is however a very nice, light travel tripod with a very good ball head. I have used this on a number of trips, carrying it on my backpack. It is compact and light and easy to setup.

For the sake of weight and a more solid base ...
For the sake of weight and a more solid base would it be advisable to consider removing the long center column and using just the short replacement column? AND what is the height of the tripod fully extended at that height (without the tall center column)?
The Vanguard VEO 2 235CB Carbon Fiber Tripod with Ball Head without the center column extended is 49 inches high. If one does not extend the original center column, it would be just as stable as using just a short center column.

Is the ball head removable
Is the ball head removable
According to Vanguard, yes, the ball head on the Vanguard VEO 2 235CB Carbon Fiber Tripod is removable. You would simply loosen the two (2) hex set screws under the head, lock down the head's adjustment dials so it does not move, and pop the head counterclockwise. The thread size on the male screw on the top of the center column is the standard ¼”-20 thread size. If you are using a tripod head that has the larger 3/8"-16 tripod thread size, you will need a reducer bushing to connect the tripod head to your tripod, such as the Oben 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 Reducer Bushing, B&H # OB1039.

Is this tripod compatible with the peak design capture camera clip?
I use the Peak Design Dual plate (https://www.peakdesign.com/collections/clips/products/dual-plate) and this one is compatible with the head of the tripod you are asking about.

question
Would you recommend this tripod for long-exposure photography using a Nikon D500 with either a 70-200mm Nikkor or a 150-600mm Tamron?
Yes the Veo 2 235CB would be great for long exposure with a Nikon D500 with a Nikon 70-200mm or Tamron 150-600mm attached to it.

Is the weight measurement wrong?? Only around 100grams difference between carbon fibre and aluminum version??
The Carbon Fiber version is 2.63 lbs, and the aluminum version is 3.7 lbs, that is a difference of 485 grams.
