I wouldn't have thought you could plug both routers in at the same time
True, never thought of that. It's no major issue, in last 3 years only calls to landline are nuisance callers.

No, the switch would only do the VLAN part, your Google Wi-Fi or other router would still have to do PPPoE.
Strange, I've not seen a switch work like.
I believe it's VLAN 911 that's needed for Gigafast.
This might be a daft question but you are sure you're entering the PPPoE username and password correctly? I had a user in Scotland that I was supporting remotely and he had the letter from Vodafone business that said his username was blahblah12345 and the password was !@£$%^&*() and he was entering that but his actual username was [email protected] and when he put that in it worked first time.
What a pointless limitation, I would never even have thought to check that you couldn't use a number higher than the port quantity. Return it and get something else more sensible.
Edit: You're looking in the wrong section. See "Create 802.1Q-Based VLANs in an Advanced Configuration" from page 33 of this guide https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/GS105EV2/WebManagedSwitches_UM_EN.pdf
I know VLANs are quite a steep learning curve but you aren't setting them up correctly.
Let's say you are going to use port 1 for the connection to the ONT, port 2 is for connection to the Google Wi-Fi on VLAN 101, and port 3 is for connection to the Google Wi-Fi on VLAN 911. You need to make port 1 and 2 members of VLAN 101, and then ports 1 and 3 members of VLAN 911. Then in the VLAN membership you need to select VLAN 101 and ensure port 1 has a T in the box, and port 2 has a U. Then select VLAN 911 and ensure port 1 has a T in the box, and port 3 has a U.
Then go into the Port PVID section and make the PVID for port 2 101, and for port 3 911.
At that point either port 2 or 3 should work for your internet.
For VLAN 1 in the membership page, click the ports until it's blank for 2 and 3 to remove that VLAN from those ports completely. Other than that it all looks fine.
Once you have found the VLAN that worked (101 or 911) then you could put the other 3 ports into VLAN 1 only, untag VLAN 1 on all the ports, set the PVID to VLAN1, and then plug the switch into the LAN port of your Google Wi-Fi (so you have two cables going between the switch and the Google puck - one for LAN and one for WAN). This then gives you two ports to use for two devices.
If you set the IP address to something in your LAN range and make sure the management is on VLAN 1 then you'll be able to log in still.
