GRASS is not obligatory, if you dont need GRASS you can compile
QGIS without GRASS support. The errors in error.log you can ignore,
those modules failed to compile but that is not important because
those modules are only few (not important) from hundreds of others
which compiled well.

The same as GRASS, you only need to do this if you want to display
GRASS rasters.

No idea, you need to find where VSIInstallLargeFileHandler is/should
be defined and then find why it is missing.

I have noticed the same, I also dont have postgres compiled.
It is bug in Makefile.win, I have fixed some of them but
then I get tired and simply commented those subdirs in
src/Makefile.win, this has to be fixed.

Here I cannot help, I dont have postgres compiled but it should be possible.
I think that Gary compiles with postgres.
