The university can in theory sponsor you for a Tier 4 application if you apply in you home country. Academic progress is only n issue for applications in the UK. Otherwise you will need to do the exams as a Standard Visitor, which you can apply for anywhere outside the UK. Short Term Student doesn't seem like the right route because it is not a short course or re-sits.
I do not give immigration advice. I refer you to Immigration Rules, guidance, other online content and to your sponsor.

You can't. You can apply for a Standard Visitor or Short Term Student visa anywhere outside the UK.

You can't extend, but if you are genuinely coming back for a short visit for the other exams, you should be able to do that as a Standard Visitor or Short-Term Student. Or perhaps the university will allow you to sit the papers in your home country.

You can, but you can only apply in your home country not in the UK.
