Will this easily fit into a Frontie personal item sizer?

I didn't drop it into the device that checks for sizie, but hubby & I both used ours as our personal item on Delta & our sons used their same size backpacks on different airline...never questioned. I think if you had it totally packed to the gills where it couldn't be compressed at all, it could be more iffy. But we had no problem.

Will the hip belt storage fit a large cellphone such as Galaxy s22 with spigen case?

You need to compare the measurements of the phone to the measurement of the pack. It has good sized belt storage.

How waterproof is it? I've used hiking bags in the past as flotation devices when crossing deep rivers. Can this do the same?

Probably not - this pack is water resistant to a certain degree and has a separate rain fly to augment the water repellence of the bag, but it would likely take on water if immersed in the manner you are describing. However, it has not rained much in my area since buying this pack, so I cannot attest to it's water resistance or lack of such.

Will this bag be too long for a person 5’1”?

Depends on your torso length; I'm 6'1, and it fits me comfortably. However, the straps can be shortened quite a bit.
