For a smoky twist, use smoked paprika instead of red chili powder for the garnish.

Yes, you can prepare the components in advance. Boil and peel the eggs and make the yolk filling up to 24 hours ahead. Store the egg whites and the filling in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. Assemble, temper, and garnish just before serving for the best taste and texture.
Thick Greek yogurt is an excellent and healthier substitute. It provides a similar creamy texture with a pleasant tang. You could also use a mix of yogurt and a small amount of cream cheese.
Tempering happens very quickly, often in under a minute. The most common reasons for burning are the heat being too high or cooking the spices for too long. Heat the ghee until it's hot but not smoking, and be ready to add the spices in quick succession. As soon as the mustard seeds pop and the cumin is fragrant, take it off the heat.
