I'm an og Nintendo hype veteran from the days of N64. This is the first where I ignored all the rumors. I am not impressed also not disappointed.

Can't wait to play tears of the kingdom at 30 fps

My question is the dock an eGPU?

Almost certainly not

If anything they put some better upscaling into it.

Unlikely, Nintendo probably isn't bothered to boost the graphics beyond the switch 2's onboard GPU. Nintendo doesn't really care about graphics so I'd be surprised if it had an eGPU.

Could make an interesting pricier addon for down the line. Like the release version is just a dock but later on they release an egpu dock that you have to buy separately.

Will this still play switch 1 games? (Physical cartridges)

From TFA:

The Switch 2 will have backward compatibility with games from the original Switch (with some unspecified exceptions).

It is a video game console that I have ever seen.
