How can I set biblatex to insert "1. " before first bibliography item and so on? The bibliography is sorted by author and the numbers are not meant to be used anywhere else.

Ad 1: \renewcommand*{\bibinitdelim}{} works for me. EDIT: Note that \bibinitdelim requires Biber instead of BibTeX. As this command was added in biblatex 1.3, there's a chance that it works with your distribution (try the backend=biber option); nevertheless consider to upgrade to the current versions of biblatex and Biber.
Ad 2: Use the package option useprefix=true.
Ad 3: \usepackage{xpatch}\xapptobibmacro{date+extrayear}{\nopunct}{}{}.
Ad 4: Use the addendum instead of the note field. EDIT: In the case at hand, follow moewe's advice and use the url and urldate fields.

Essentially we combine authoryear and numeric as in Combining style numeric with style authoryear in BibLaTeX, furthermore, we use \supercite to give us a footnote with the citation number. The code for the ay macros is from authoryear.cbx. Numbers are printed in the bibliography thanks to How do I get numbered entries in a beamer bibliography

Biblatex manual section 3.5.7 actually has a solution for this, I must have missed it the previous time. Changed
