1. We're not up to date with the state of Hiccup's prosthetic from the most recent movie. Our natural inclination is to say that he'd get to keep it so long as it's treated in canon like an extension of his self. This would be more like a less advanced cybernetic, but we generally assume that characters come in with them! That said: there is a good chance that he would end up coming out with an advanced version of the same prosthetic - metal (we assume his current one isn't) and better functioning - but it would be treated as an intermediary thing, rather than something permanently fused with his body. This would balance (hopefully) the need for consent - which we fully understand! - but offer him something in the meantime!
2. Morningstar would fabricate a recent accident that necessitated the loss of his leg. Some people just get cybernetics for the hell of it, too! You can decide which angle he went in. Maybe he had an accident and then decided, hey, I'll get a new leg once one is ready.
2b. It would be inpatient care, fully paid for, and he'd be ready to leave in a few days! Thanks to the logistics of the prosthetic, it would be far easier to get the surgery done, spend a few days being monitored, and ready to head out into the world.
As for when it gets done: that's up to you! His fellow Displaced would be more than happy to help him get this done quickly if needed.
3. Prosthetics are made to look as human as possible. There would be a skin-like substance, but it wouldn't be pressure or pain sensitive. They do not detach, in part because of the fact that they link up with someone's neural implant to function regularly. There wouldn't be any kind of regular maintenance for necessary upkeep, though some people might be able to backdoor an app through their neural implant for that (which would involve hackers). Most people who get cybernetics/prosthetics do it in order to make their lives more convenient, and aren't interested in messing with that stuff.
Its weight would make it seem like the normal human limb. The power source is very similar to what runs the neural implants, which means it doesn't take any charging. Unlike the neural implant - because it's inside of people's heads - it's possible to damage it, but they're made to be extremely, extremely sturdy.
As for functional advancements, patients can ask their doctors for them, and there are some body mod places that will help - so long as someone isn't trying to install a weapon. Anything along those lines would need to be done on the Black Market (as it's super illegal). These body mod places would be familiar with the range of prosthetics/cybernetics and able to make the adjustments needed, even if the leg wasn't originally built for that purpose.
