Yes, it is the basic (unconjugated) form of a verb. With verbs when learning a foreign language you typically learn the infinitive of the verb first, then you learn how to conjugate it.
So for example, the verb “to run” is in the infinitive form (It is healthy to run- this is an impersonal sentence meaning that it has no subject, hence the verb is not conjugated) The conjugated form of the infinitive “to run” could be “I ran all the way home just to say I’m sorry” for example.

A:
“Two-sided character” basically means that infinitive verbs have two different ways that they can be used in a sentence. They can be used just as a verb, or as a noun when it’s the subject of a sentence.
For example, the infinitive verb “sleep”:
I sleep. (Here, “sleep” is the verb of the sentence)
Sleep is great. (Here, sleep is the subject of the sentence; it’s being used as a noun).

Q:
Was/were to + infinitive
A:
Basically, these sentences are telling us what happened in the past but presenting it to us as if we were still at that point in time - except with knowledge of what happens afterwards.
"1. He was to find out years later that the car he bought was stolen."
In this sentence, 'was to' means 'was going to' or 'would'. In other words, 'he would find out years later that the car he bought was stolen' or 'he was going to find out years later that the car he bought was stolen'.
It is similar with example 3 that you gave - you can replace 'was to' with either 'would' or 'was going to' and get the same meaning: 'It would take 48 hours...' or 'It was going to take 48 hours...'
"2. We were to stay with Vince in Lisbon many times before he moved to Madrid."
In this case 'were to' indicates an arrangement that has been decided on. Since we know that Vince moved to Madrid afterwards and that the subject of the sentence ('we') knows about staying with him in Lisbon 'many times', we can assume that this sentence is said after the events outlined have taken place. Therefore you could replace 'were to' with 'were going to' or 'would' like the other two examples, but with 'were' instead of 'was': 'We were going to stay...' or 'We would stay...'
Many stories that are written in the past tense use this approach - they give the impression that we are in the same point in the timeline as the events but since the events are actually in the past, writers are able to include hints of what happens later on.
Sometimes, narrative-style history books or articles are also written like this, for example you might see something like, 'Shakespeare was a playwright and actor born in Stratford-upon-Avon. He was to write some of the most famous English plays of all time.' Here, 'was to' outlines what was going to happen but this has already happened - at the time of Shakespeare's birth, nobody knew he would become famous for his plays but in the present day, many people know who Shakespeare is.
This was a much longer explanation than I had expected, but I hope this helps!
Edit: It might help to contrast 'was/were + infinitive' with 'am/is + infinitive'.
For example: 'I am to go to London for a business trip.' Here, we know that the plan for the person is to go to London for a business trip, but we don't know anything about what will happen afterwards because it is not something that has already happened.
In the same way, 'She is to visit a friend in New York as a surprise.' tells us a plan for the future but nothing about what happens afterwards. If this event has already happened and we know something about an event that followed, you could say something like 'She was to visit a friend in New York as a surprise, only to find that her friend had moved to San Francisco.'
"1. He was to find out years later that the car he bought was stolen."
In this sentence, 'was to' means 'was going to' or 'would'. In other words, 'he would find out years later that the car he bought was stolen' or 'he was going to find out years later that the car he bought was stolen'.
