Package and thermal path
The 8-SON (3x3) with exposed pad is the same footprint as many other 8-pin SON gate drivers, so a layout swap is straightforward. A via array under the pad to an inner ground plane is standard practice.

The DRV8714HQPHPRQ1 is a different device — an automotive-grade stepper motor driver with integrated FETs, not a direct functional equivalent. For a half-bridge gate driver, look at other TI parts in the same 8-SON footprint with similar supply and timing specs; no single pin-compatible second source is listed in the record.
Yes — the 4.5V–8.8V supply range covers 5V rails, and the non-inverting input is compatible with 3.3V or 5V logic levels from an MCU. No level-shifting is needed if the MCU supply matches the driver supply.
Yes — the TI TPS28225DRBT datasheet is available from Texas Instruments and covers the full electrical characteristics, application circuits, and layout guidelines. The part is also described in TI's synchronous buck gate driver application notes.
