I'm just a newbie myself, but in #16 they are just asking if you were ever removed, excluded, or had to go through judicial proceedings because you entered the US illegally or overstayed for too long.
If that has never been the case, just check no.

#20 only applies if in your native language you use a different alphabet than this. If yes, I'm pretty sure you can write it out, but I am not positive.

I-130 #16, same answer as Patty

#22, it asks for relative's (beneficiary's) native alphabet. I believe if the petitioner cannot write in beneficiary's native alphabet, he/she can have someone else write it.

In my case, I petitioned for my parents and since I (petitioner) do know the native alphabet, I wrote it.

My husand (USC) was my petitioner. He doesn't know my native language. I wrote for him on this question. It turned out that it's ok.

I dont understand what the confusion with #20 is.

20. If your relative's native alphabet is other than Roman letters, write his or her name and foreign address in the native alphabet.

This means if the applicant (immigrant) has a name that is always written in a language other than english and has no english equivalent, then the name and address should be written in the applicant's native language. This is usually the case where english is not the applicant's first or second langauge.
