CC them on literally every email until they get sick of it. Find reasons to send annoying emails.
Have everyone CC them on every email.

I don't know why this is a big deal.
Don't send silly embarrassing things through company email, whether it's CC'd or not. The request seems reasonable, if he's new to the organization, he wants to be a "fly on the wall" of how things work -- especially in the modern distributed work environment.
Mind, if you're using Slack, or MS Teams, or any of the corporate survel^H^H^H^H^H^Hcommunication networks, he already (should) have access to this. If anything, this is more upfront and visible and should be approached with positive intent and good faith.
If you want to chat golf and set a lunch time with a co-worker, don't CC him.

This is normal but not efficient.

Reply to everything with an "ok," or, "you bet," "thanks," and "sure!"

Not super weird, I have seen it a fair amount?
My boss sure as shit doesn't want that, but I have seen it asked by some supervisors, especially new ones as they try to figure out what they do or do not need to be involved in.
Not necessarily. While you should always assume that your employer can read any email you compose using their email system, it usually requires a request to IT. They don't ordinarily have access to your email.

This. Also reply-all to everything, no matter how minute, and have entire conversations via email rather than Slack / Teams.

I'm a "boss" and sometimes I ask for this because someone (could be my guy, could be the client) has issues communicating or sometimes I just want to be clued in on what's happening on a project. I don't necessarily read all of them, but it's good to have the context if I need to catch up on something.
