I don't suppose there will be any updates on the Magus class in this book...?
Maybe? They didnT' talk about it yet, it's too early for that. They tend to reveal stuff closer to release.
But it's a Lost Omen release, so for them, to manage expectation, it's usually better to assume to buy them for lore first and rule contents second.I might expect more "pure magical" stuff than magus though, but we never know. But yeah, right now, we ONLY know what is in that description above. Wizard options, spymaster gears, new martial arts stuff (so... monk? there could be magus there, but that's speculation), and guidelines to write stories set in magical academies.

I'm curious if this book will contain rules for players/GM's who wish to create/manage their own school (magical or otherwise)as teachers or founders? Was there anything like this in the Strength of Thousands AP? .
As to why I'm interested- well, I really love the concept of players building a town/settlement/country, but I've heard that the kingdom management system in kingmaker is just no good. But a magic school? That sounds complex enough to be interesting, but contained enough to be manageable- without as many issues that would break down the game (assuming ofc no magical faculty accidentally blows up the campus).
The idea is for the party to either lead an already established (but struggling) campus or build a new school where none yet exists.

This fondly reminds me of the Covenants (and their seasons) in Ars Magica a long time ago.

And the Shadowdancer?
Given that the entire reason Shadowdancer wasn't found in Player Core 2 is that it is Legacy Content from way back in 3rd Ed/3.5, the likelihood of it popping up in a Lost Omens Sourcebook borders non-existent.
Now the Shadow Magic stuff from Secrets of Magic, that might be a possibility.

Could they be adding a feat or number of feats which, would allow wizards to try learn active spells they identify with the arcana skill (i.e. use some time to make a theory text from which the wizard could learn the spell in downtime or prepare a 'volatile' version of it in the field). Something like this could make a wizard feel more like a real scholar of magic.

There's been a bit of a shift in format the for Lost Omens books as far as rules go. The older books tended to have a smattering of feats for a wide variety of classes gathered together, while Divine Mysteries and the Tian Xia Character Guide focused on specific classes and new archetypes/subclasses. I'd expect most of the new player facing mechanics to be tied either to specific schools or to the scholastic experience.

We will!
There's a new hybrid study, Resurgent Maelstrom, from the Monastery of the Unbreaking Waves.
The new approaches can be seen most clearly among those studying the Resurgent Maelstrom. Combining faydhaan spells and techniques with mortal ingenuity, a magus can use the power of water to turn any tool into a weapon and embrace their transience by shattering them against their foes.

Probably not. I'm not really sure how much more change is needed for the SoM pats of the Magus after the errata that we've already gotten. More feats and hybrid studies in other books are always nice, though.
