First, take it to O’Reilly’s or an auto parts store near you to check the engine light. It seems suspicious that all of this happened at once. Then check the fuses. Please post what the engine light code is.

My car makes a squealing noise and thermostat varies.
replace the failing drive belt and make sure it is tensioned correctly
the noise is from a slipping belt and the battery problem is because the alternator is not charging because of the drive belt problem

I have 93 Subaru legacy with 2.2 broke timing
If your timing marks are on ... there is spark and fuel you may just have the firing order off ... When checking the firing order be mindful of the rotation of the engine.

I'm trying to replace a clutch cable in a '90
It is not a cotter pin. It us a pin with a clip. Get a screwdriver or blade behind the clip to push it off. The clip is #16 in the pic. Make sure to use a new clip to install the cable.

1992 Subaru Legacy , FWD, Automatic Trans.,
don't be surprised if there is no gasket there
during manufacture , they use adhesive sealant on properly machined surfaces
the bolts could be a bit loose
cost will be the quotes you get from accredited specialist transmission shops but don't be surprised it they include removing the power train ( engine / transmission to do the job as that may be the quickest way to do it

I was given a 1990 Legacy sedan. Obviously it
something is wrong
if there is no signal from the cam or crank sensors , it will not start or run
maybe the scan tool is not operating correctly
if it starts then idles then dies , that could be the maf sensor

Where is the obd port
Yours will be only OBD-1, and there are very very few places that can read OBD-1 anymore. Some Subaru dealers still have a Subaru "select monitor" scanner for OBD-1 cars. You also have to know which connector is the OBD-1 connector, it's among many connectors that are up under the drivers side dash . I hope this info helps.

Why is my fuel mixing with oil
I'm afraid your Subaru has burnt a valve. Typically it is the right rear cylinder (looking at it from the front of the car) that burns them. this is a common problem. It's an expensive fix. There is a chance however, it may just be a fouled spark plug. Again, it's usually the right rear spark plug that fouls. You can pull each plug wire one at a time (start with the right rear one) until you find one that doesn't make the engine run worse. Then change that plug and try it. Or replace all the plugs. If one is fouled then the others may also need changing.
