I need to keep the display on the whole time and considering how slow my internet connection is, it is a lot. I am surprised that there is no option to download the games while in standby or sleep mode.

I know that the Deck lowers the brightness but it seems to be awfully ineffective and of course I am also worried about display burn in.

Clever, would this affect the game mode?

No.

Those features are part of the desktop environment, which doesn't run at all in game mode.

I'd assume it won't, you can always just test it out though. There might be some setting for those timeouts in the Steam-steamdeck settings.

Thanks again. I will give it a try
