Crit fail and success for skill checks is a variant rule in the dmg (maybe even discussed in the PHB)

Ultimately if 1 will not fail or 20 will not succeed, why are you even rolling? While there is no default automatic success/failure rule, it's a natural assumption that 1 and 20 are automatic fail and success based on the fact that the roll is pointless otherwise.

Tiered DC. I don't know if 5th has that as an official rule or it's a common house rule.

Rolling to seduce a dragon? Nat 20: he/she laughs at you, you fail. Nat 2: does a 22 hit your AC?

I don’t know if 5th has that as an official rule or it’s a common house rule.

It's mentioned somewhere in Chapter 8 of the DMG.
