Q: Is there a limit to how many starfighters we can make? Can I make several so long as they all have different functions or affiliations?
No. Some companies, like Incom, made most of their profits off starfighters. Corellian Engineering makes most of its profits (canonically) on freighters. The only real restriction, and it's not even real, is on elite starfighters. In general, a company should probably have at least twice as many general production starfighters as they do more minor, specialized versions. Profits are more easily had from the former, as the latter involves a lot of high-cost development and construction.
Q: Can stealth be on a minor/limited-production item?
Yes. In fact, stealth is not something we want to have put on mass produced things. In general, mass produced ships should be relatively vanilla in construction. They're usually either a base for a unique, more specialized product to be made later, or they're cannon foddor. When you're looking to make money off these, you want your costs to be as low as possible. Why spend a huge amount of money installing a stealth system on a ship that's gonna go boom after one fight?
Q: Do weapon trades work on sub-capital craft as well (e.g. fighters, shuttles, etc)?
Yes. As well, there's not generally a penalty in weapon swapping for fighters and the like, as their weapon pools are much, much smaller. That said, if a Judge looks at a fighter and thinks it's being a little too extreme in pooling everything into one weapon, they might ask for some trade-offs.
Q: Can you fit handheld drones in a fighter's weapon bay? Will it count towards weapons?
This is a little fuzzy. Generally, if something's being loaded into a missile tube, it's meant to go boom. If it's meant to be something like a smart drone or something launched at high speeds, maybe. This is something that would have to be looked and decided a bit more on a case-by-case basis, as there are a number of factors that would have to be considered.
Q: Banana?
Meatloaf.
