Unfortunately TL-R600VPN doesn't support  OpenVPN.

It supports PPTP/L2TP/IPsec VPN. Maybe you can refer to the following FAQ.

Yes, you can create L2TP VPN. Other people can connect the VPN to access your network or access internet through your VPN. You can refer to the FAQ. https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/faq/2137/

I'd like to help you, but I don't know that much  about it in such detail. But I do know that online privacy is critical in this day and age.

You'll need to set up an IP (dynamic or static). Then, you can use any platform that offers VPN connections such as wifi hotspots on your phone for each guest.

To allow external connections, you should setup a Dynamic Miticast address from the WAN settings page. This will give visitors internet access through the main network wifi so they can connect to your devices on the LAN while they're in range of it. To take advantage of this, make sure all devices are connected and configured into your home network's WiFi Network without a password. This includes laptops, tablets and mobile phones with internet capabilities ;)
