Is it possible to get the Google Analytics 4 session id via the GTM variable? I need to send the value for offline conversion tracking.

I am trying to get individual users activity using google analytics apis for GA4. I am able to send UserID in GA data and also able to see these activities on analytics reports but unable to fetch this data using analytics apis.
The User Activity API allows a Google Analytics property owner to retrieve all analytics measurement data associated with a single user. Do we have any API in Google Analytics 4 to do the same thing by sending userId or uid and get all logged events relater to that userid.

Previously were using universal tracking to track user visits to Google Analytics using python script from the backend application.
Now migrating to Google Analytics 4 and using the Measurement Protocol to send events to record in Google Analytics
Events list reference Lists a few events and required parameters, however, most of them look like e-commerce events. However, I want to record visits to my website.
How should the event name, if it has to be from the predefined list? Or how can I create event names?
Try to use this hit builder: https://ga-dev-tools.web.app/ga4/event-builder/
You can choose Custom as event_category, then you can use page_view as event_name.
I want to use the sign_up event as a conversion goal in Google Ads. I'm using Firebase for auth and for sending client-side events to GA4, but it doesn't look like sign_up is sent by Firebase.
I have GA4 configured as a destination in Segment and plan to send the sign_up event server-side to Segment. Segment sends events to GA4 using the Google Measurement API. I need to include the Google Ad ID in the sign_up event so that it is recorded properly as a Google Ads conversion. However, I cannot find anywhere in Google's documentation how to set this parameter. Does anyone know how to set Google Ad ID (gclid) when sending an event using Google Measurement API?
This is actually set on the Google Ads end. For each account sending traffic to your site, you need to go to the settings (top level) and check the "Enable Auto Tagging" box. This will append the gclid to each ads click.
Alternatively, you can add it as a custom parameter in your campaigns but it's easier to just add it at the account level.
Bear in mind though that if you do enable it, you don't need to pass this back to GA. GA will automatically pick it up for you.

Is it possible to retrieve the gtm event tracking data(through rest api) through google analytics query explorer?
If it possible kindly explain the steps.
There is really noch such thing as GTM event tracking data. You may deploy Google Analytics via GTM, but GTM itself does not collect data.
So Google Analytics event data collected by GA deployed via GTM is still just GA data, and you use the same APIs and tools (including the Query Explorer) that you would use to access GA data from properties that are not tagged using GTM.
You can however not use the GTM API to retrieve tracking data (it is not obvious from your question if you are aware of the difference).
