My cat was missing for half a year and was adopted – will he be upset if I visit him? (He seems stressed and mildly depressed)
Cats are timid but are not usually diagnosed with depression. After half a year with a new owner, he likely trusts them and has forgotten you, so he may just hide. As long as you do not force interaction, a major stress reaction is unlikely. Severe stress, however, can weaken immunity and cause anorexia or illness.
Yesterday I found a cat outside and brought it home; it looks like a pet cat that got out, but it breathes poorly, nose blocked, sneezes like a cold, and has a scabbed injury on the nose. Photos 1–2 are from that night, photo 3 is this morning.
Breathing trouble, blocked nose, sneezing suggest respiratory infection or cat flu. Try doxycycline or amoxicillin-clavulanate and watch; if no clear relief, see a vet. A stray easily catches viruses and needs proper vet care.

Hair loss under the neck, a little near the hand
The photo is blurry and it cannot be determined whether this is from ringworm. A Wood's lamp can check for ringworm, but its accuracy is only about 70 percent.
