Also, the position of the sort buttons should depend on the direction of the page content language instead of the direction of the user interface language.

Cite has a similar problem and solved it by comparing the user interface language with the content language and on mismatch additional content language specific information is added to mw.language.setData: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/extensions/Cite/+/97495c9bf18280305632d62096cca5307135f403/src/ResourceLoader/ContentLanguage.php
This solution works only with a project wide content language but not with a page content language per title by $wgPageLanguageUseDB = true.

A better solution would be to extend the ResourceLoader by an optional URL parameter contentlang for the content language next to the existing URL parameter lang for the user interface language. contentlang is only added when the page content language differs to the project content language. A new function getContentLanguage in MediaWiki\ResourceLoader\Context provides the value of this URL parameter and falls back to $wgLanguageCode if the URL parameter is missing. Modules like ext.cite.visualEditor or jquery.tablesorter can then use the page content language for language operations in the page content.
