Why is the missed-approach course for the "RNAV (GNSS) - A" approach to runway 28 at ENSB shaped all funny?
If you look at satellite imagery it looks like you have very high terrain to the west of the runway. The water would be the primary area available for a climb back to obstacle clearance altitude. ...

Why is the missed-approach course for the "RNAV (GNSS) - A" approach to runway 28 at ENSB shaped all funny?
As Alexander already said in his answer, the turns over water are executed to gain enough altitude before turning back over the terrain.

Approach plate does not require DME, but DME used in the published missed?
DME can be used in the published missed, but does not have to be. There are other ways to identify the missed approach fix.

Option 2 is clearly correct.
This is because it says "Continue climb-in-hold to 9000". If you were expected to be at 9000 before entering the hold at DRK there would be no need to add that ...

Does the pilot have to fly the entire published missed approach procedure if the circling approach is abandoned just prior to touchdown?

Why is the missed approach point sometimes beyond the threshold or runway like in the example below?
The missed approach point (MAP) needs to be identified somehow by the pilot flying this approach.
The example you show is a VOR approach that requires neither RNAV/RNP capability nor DME. That is also ...

My two cents say that your option 2 is the correct execution.

How are pilots prepared for a go around on a simultaneous converging approach when the "converging chart" is not published?
The reason you don't see similar charts for the north+west operation (i.e. 35 + 27's) as for those that you pointed out for the south+east (i.e. 17 + 09's) operation has to do with the way the runways ...
