Is this waterfall characteristic of QAM or OFDM (or something other) modulation?

The sharp rectangular shape of the spectrum, with the immensely flat top definitely says "OFDM, with suitable whitening/PAPR reduction"; what constellation is used on the individual carriers is a bit ...

Every system will be different, so it’s impossible to make a blanket statement that applies to everything, but IFF systems can be used to accomplish the task. The signal processing here can be as ...

How to measure/estimate symbol rate of a signal with unknown ( but probably QAM ) modulation?

The nonlinear trick is in fact often used to recover the symbol clock of $\frac \pi {2N}$ phase-shifted signals, e.g. BPSK, QPSK: Squaring samples $x[n]$ (or even taking $x^4$) leads to a removal of ...
