No. While VT100-compatible terminals do have support for double-width lines (using the DECDWL control sequence), they don't have support for narrow lines or characters.

I am unable to determine the cause of this, but the day prior when using su to enter my password for installing an application through the terminal, the authentication has been successful. So far, I am uncertain on how to resolve this issue. I use a Fedora 29 GNOME OS.

The su command does not accept your password. You must use the target user's password, which in your example shown is the root password.
Are you perhaps muddling su with sudo, which does take your own password for authentication?

Whenever I open the (Gnome) terminal from my Fedora 26 system this line is being displayed first before the command prompt:

Based on one person's installation guide I suspect you have an AIPS-related line in your ~/.bashrc file; edit that file and remove the line that reads something like:

It could use variations such as:

or

You can simplify your solution so that you only need to specify the hostname once. The test.sh script can set the prompt directly with the echo command and then run the ping you want.
$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash

I would like to capture the stdout (as sent to a terminal), and perform some processing after it is output on the terminal (for the user).
I want to know how to grab the output, process and make changes accordingly.

Well, maybe it is not a good idea to grab the output, process and display the output of every command you type on the terminal.

When I open gnome-terminal, instead of presenting me with my default Bash shell, it shows:
sh-4.4$
This began happening since I added DISPLAY=:0 to my crontab -e file which now looks as follows:
DISPLAY=:0

I'm assuming this is the gnome-terminal started from your cronjob.
There is absolutely no need to run the cronjob scripts inside gnome-terminal. Doing so would mean that the jobs would fail if gnome-terminal could not be opened (which would probably happen if you weren't using the desktop at the time).

I use screen for my command-line tasks while managing the servers where I work. I usually run small commands (mostly file-system tasks) but sometimes I run more extensive tasks (like DBA).

Screen has its own scroll buffer, as it is a terminal multiplexer and has to deal with several buffers.
Maybe there's a better way, but I'm used to scrolling using the "copy mode" (which you can use to copy text using screen itself, although that requires the paste command too):

From vi, if you issue the command :sp, the screen splits into two "views", allowing you to edit more than one file from the same terminal.
Along those same lines, is there a way to have multiple shells open in the same terminal?

Browsing through questions I found about tmux (I normally used GNU Screen). My question is what are pros and cons of each of them. Especially I couldn't find much about tmux.

From their website:

tmux offers several advantages over screen:

I have a running program on a SSH shell. I want to pause it and be able to unpause its execution when I come back.
One way I thought of doing that was to transfer its ownership to a screen shell, thus keeping it running in there.
Is there a different way to proceed?

You can revoke “ownership” of the program from the shell with the disown built-in:
# press Ctrl+Z to suspend the program
bg
disown
However this only tells the shell not to send a SIGHUP signal to the program when the shell exits. The program will retain any connection it has with the terminal, usually as standard inp... | How can I disown a running process and associate it to a new screen shell? |

You can use :

Or
