I'm not familiar with him as a performer but his Instagram profile describes him as "part time skateboarder" and there's a few skateboard tricks in the show so that could be why.

oh, that makes a lot of sense! i didn’t get to see the show so i did know of these tricks. this show seems more wild the more i hear about it
Interesting, I haven't heard of any of these actors but here's hoping! I'll definitely probably have to see the show if it comes near me cuz I really really love the Broadway production.

Don't expect the "Broadway production". I'm sure it will be re-designed (and re-staged) for the road. I do wonder if they will use Costumes from the Broadway run? I think there are many very talented non-union Actors there, I don't have a problem with that. But when the original creators are involved I don't see them taking a pay cut to do the tour.

Equity producers don't "buy" cards for people. They offer Equity contracts to non-members, which then makes those people eligible to join. Most people join this way.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
It looks like Tina Landau is going to be the primary director in the room, which I believe is rare for a non-equity tour. Really hoping the production value isn't garbage for the tour, but then again a "cheap" set could work really well in Spongebob's favor.

No I don't believe it says that anywhere. Do you have a source? It means that her direction will be used -- but I;m pretty sure that one of her associates will be "in the room". She may stop by during tech to give notes, but I seriously doubt she will be there full time.

She posted on Instagram in rehearsals for the tour, so she's at least going to be a bit hands-on, I imagine. Not sure how SDC (Directors Union) handles non-eq tours - you are most likely right that an Associate is at the helm but Tina is volunteering time to be active.
