Where can I find the list of all tendons in the human body?
The FMA lists 705 tendons, but note that it includes separate terms for left and right instances. As @kmm says, many of these simply shadow the list of skeletal muscles (and is likely incomplete).

Are tendons and ligaments classified under the muscular or bone system?
Tendons are intrinsically part of muscles. Ligaments are not. So for your question, we need to create a classification system which is a bit artificial, based on the tissue structure of the various ...

Does a full tear of the gluteus minimus tendon result in a long-lasting inflammatory response?
The article you linked is interesting, but as @Charles E. Grant mentioned in the comments, it’s not particularly reasonable to compare a non-tear repetitive stress injury (like epicondylitis) to a ...

Does a full tear of the gluteus minimus tendon has any functional implications?
You’re correct that the gluteus minimus is redundant in function with the gluteus medius, but an isolated gluteus minimus tear still causes functional problems because of the associated inflammatory ...

Are tendons and ligaments classified under the muscular or bone system?
Some ontologies such as the FMA and Uberon draw a distinction between the skeleton and the skeletal system, with the former consisting only of bones/cartilage, and the latter including ligaments and ...

Is "muscular attachment" synonymous to tendon? (when talking about the insertion of glutei medius and minimus to greater trochanter of the femur)
The tendon and muscle attachment are not the same. In your example, both are affected, so they are described separately.
A muscle extends into a tendon and this into an enthesis - an actual ...

Where does the gluteus medius attach to the greater trochanter compared to the gluteus minimus attachment?
{1} greatly answers the question.
Regarding the insertion location (lateral view):
Note that unlike the gluteus minimus insertion, the gluteus medius insertion can also be viewed anterolaterally:

Can NSAIDs impact negatively the healing of tendons?
As far as I know there is no clear scientific evidence on whether and at which stage of a tendon injury one should use NSAID. Here is the conclusion of a systematic review from Cochrane {1}:
