Working through a book with a computer?

Hi

First post, sorry if I'm breaking any conventions or asking a common question.

I've just bought the book "Let me ask you, Do you know?" (https://www.newinchess.com/let-me-ask-you-do-you-know).  The format is lessons with challenge problems at the end of each lesson.

I'd like to setup the challenge problems and play them repeatedly against a computer (or maybe a human).

Question 1: Has this sort of thing been done?

Question 2: What is the best platform for this kind of work?

Question 3: Is there a site where you can play "endgame tournaments" where you play both sides of a position against the same player in each round?

Also be aware that certain end positions are not correctly evaluated by software. Fortress positions, of which opposite coloured bishops are the most well-known example, are types were the numbers pumped out by software don't mean anything.
