Do organizers have to guarantee a spot to all willing participants? Or will they be first-come-first-served?
The tournaments will be open to all of the players who register.
How this is done will depend on the tournament. But very generally speaking, the tournaments are expected to announce the qualification requirements of their tournaments, and then the players will need to register to participate. All players that want to participate and meet the requirements will be able to play in the qualifiers.

Will duels be used for the tournament qualifiers? Or will these tournaments depend on in-game tournaments to qualify for the events?
Duels must be used for all stages. Since in-game tournaments do not support duels, they will likely not be used in the upcoming events.
Tournaments will rely on third-party app/tools or hold these qualifiers inside clans.
The tournament admins will be responsible and choose the format they feel is best for their tournaments.

Who will get the Golden Ticket if the winner of a Golden Ticket event already has a Golden Ticket?
If the winner of a Golden ticket event already has a ticket, the runner-up (second-place winner) of the tournament will receive the ticket.
This means that players can compete in Golden Ticket events even if they have already won another.
