"Would Gore even have invaded Afghanistan after 9/11?"

Probably. Since that was where Al Qaeda was.

"Would Saddam still be in power, getting money from the "Oil for Palaces" program?"

Probably. Since that wasn't where Al Qaeda was. Nation building was something we weren't supposed to do. Remember that? There are plenty of strongman governments around the world and there really wasn't anything, other than oil, that elevated Iraq over much of the African continent.

"Would Gore have gotten us out of the recession, or would he have prolonged it by raising taxes?"

Probably. Managing recessions isn't rocket science you know. We tend to have them pretty regularly and raising taxes generally isn't part of the formula.
