Automation Studio Code:

Is this based on the unofficial VS Code extension (GitHub - br-automation-com/vscode-brautomationtools: Visual Studio Code extension for B&R Automation Studio projects) or is this an entirely new development from B&R?
On the website, they mention “ST-OOP”. Does this imply that its a more thorough OOP, where there are Objects, Classes, Methods, Interfaces, ect, that will allow the user to fully use OOP Design Patterns in their B&R PLC projects?

Automation Studio Code is a new development not based on the VS Code extension from your link.

You have understood the “ST-OOP” correctly.

You can see more information from this page:

Safety+

What is the different between the broad Safety+ and the new SafetyDesigner+ from B&R?
Is this a new implementation or delivery of the openSAFETY standard from B&R or is it a whole new development.

Safety+ is a new implementation in the beginning offering support for openSAFETY. Might or might not offer other implementations in the future.
