1. Does the game have word bubbles now?
Nope!
2. If there are no word bubbles, how do you RP comfortably? Are there addons?
Nope! Most people use a comination of the search message feature to tag themselves as an RPer, and/or this site and the accompanying wiki. It's not as simple as MyRP or anything, of course, but I certainly wouldn't say it's uncomfortable.
3. Is there dueling in the game?
No and yes. No, there's no simple way to do it, and it's pretty impossible to really do it in any way condusive to RPing, but you can reliably get the same 8 players together to fight if you queue for Wolves' Den at the same time.
4. What's the FFXIV RP community's general approach to settling in-character conflicts?
Most people talk it out OoCly or just let the IC play itself out. I don't seem to notice a whole lot of conflicts revolving around this. Most people are totally willing to lose or win, depending on the situation. Some people do use dice rolls, but I don't believe that it's relied upon very heavily.
5. On the same note as the previous question, is it possible to setup RP in PvP?
Or is all PvP restricted to strictly controlled PvP instances akin to battlegrounds, with timers/lack of chat channels/other restrictions?
Not even slightly, see above. It's all instanced, and on timers. If you were able to get 8 people together and wanted to queue for Wolves' Den as two seperate parties, in MIGHT work. But that's a big MIGHT.
Nope!
