Do people actually like to double click?

I mostly try to avoid using mouse. I use keyboard shortcuts as much as i can.

I would always use the front edge, (mousedown), of the operation for controlling the UI elements, (change button state Etc), and the trailing edge (Mouseup), for the action as It did give the user an opt out to abort the operation.

not sure what the current API's require or allow, (it's been a while since I wrote any UI's :) ), but would think that the basic system is still in place

Single click for me. However, I have the option Underline icon titles only when I point at them checked.

At the end of the day, it's what you prefer and are used to. There is no right or wrong with this, it's just a matter of personal preference.

Just an idea

Replace the pinned items to the problematic apps with a batch file or script that adds an additional confirmation prompt before actually running the application

Always single click.

That and mouse speed are a few of the first things I do after an install.

+1 I use the fastest mouse speed.

I have a high end gaming mouse (got in on sale, or never would have bought it). 4000 dpi, supersensitive. If I set it to the fastest speed, moving the mouse a few millimeters would move it clear across both monitors.
