I have not been able to locate documentation indicating whether Windows 10 IoT Core supports WFP in any capacity. I am particularly interested in whether IoT Core supports WFP callout drivers.
Background on WFP
You may try to run the WFP sample on Windows IoT Core. It includes a driver project named WFPSamplerCalloutDriver. Since the the target of projectis for Windows Desktop, it may show error when compiling for Windows IoT Core. You need to change the DriverTargetPlatform to Universal which supports Windows IoT Core.
Windows Filtering Platform Sample
Update:
I have compiled the WFPSamplerCalloutDriver sample for Windows IoT Core successfully, and built/installed the driver package on my device(Raspberry PI) with no errors. But I can not find the installed drivers via command devcon driverfiles * after booting the device.

Are only universal windows platform (UWP) applications supported by Windows store or normal desktop applications such as win32 are also supported?
Also what is the difference between win32 project and a general empty project? is it the same but just with a console in the output?
Thanks in advance.

Currently the project types accepted by Windows Store include Windows universal apps for Windows 10 and 8.1 and Windows Phone Silverlight project:
For desktop application, only Win32 desktop apps using .NET 4.6.1 can be published to the Store via Desktop Bridge.
After you generate your converted package, you need to fill out this form and you'll acquire the permission to publish your package once your request gets verified.

You might refer to the response from #Elegentin Xie in this thread, which indicate the difference between them.
Can I create a webapplication on my windows 10 IOT running device (R-PI 3)?
On other PI's I've got Debian running with LightHttpd, but I can't seem to find anything on a webserver on Win10 IOT device.
I did see some examples on self creating a -very simple- webserver (ie listening on a port) but there should be more than that?
PS
I added 2 tages: Windows IOT and Windows-10-IOT-Core.... are these the same?

Yes, you can start with Hello blinky official sample. There are also Python and Node.js supported.
Using ASP.NET, you can publish Web Application on Windows IoT core. (Note the version of ASP.NET, more detailed information is here.)
And, restup is a HTTP server for universal windows platform (UWP) apps that can run on Raspberry Pi with Windows IoT core.

Windows IoT core is an edition of Windows 10 differs from desktop and mobile editions. It is optimized for smaller devices with limited resources, such as Raspberry Pi 2 and 3.
Window IoT is something about Internet of Things you can create with Windows.
For tags in SO, "Windows IoT core" and "Window IoT" have identical function.
There are a couple of ways to do this that I've come across which might interest you:
1) As you suggest, it is very simple as you suggest to write you're own server app or app service that listens on a port and responds. Here is a decent example which was easy to follow and implement:
https://sandervandevelde.wordpress.com/2016/04/08/building-a-windows-10-iot-core-background-webserver/
2) Also, it is possible to develop a plugin for Windows Device Portal (WDP) by following the instructions here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/msdn-magazine/2017/october/windows-device-portal-write-a-windows-device-portal-packaged-plug-in
I have tried this and it works very nicely. It demonstrates how to serve static content and dynamic content either from the foreground or a background task.
I'm trying to set up continuous integration testing for a Windows Store (8.1) app on Visual Studio Team Services (formerly Visual Studio Online).
Setting up build was fairly easy, but I have not been able to get it to run my unit tests on a Hosted Agent. So far I have:
Added /t:Publish to the build to produce the test runner .appx
Created a Powershell script to install the appropriate certificates onto the agent
Modified the test search path to find the .appx
Now, I'm getting errors about installing a developer license:
Error: Could not start test run for unit tests for Windows Store app: No valid developer license found for running unit tests for Windows Store apps. Please install/renew your developer license..
It does not appear to be possible to add a developer license strictly from Powershell or Command Prompt, so is there some other way of running the tests on a Hosted Agent?
Assuming you are using vNext build and Universal Windows Platform template by following this article.
As the developer license is deprecated in the Windows 10 operating system, Universal Windows Platform template doesn't require developer license. But if the computer that hosts the build agent will be used to perform unit tests for windows 8.x, developer license must be installed on the computer.
So, there is no way to run tests for Windows 8.1 on Hosted Agent. You need to deploy a Windows build agent or set up an on-premises build controller + build agent to test Windows 8.1 application.
How can I watch logs from windows phone 8.1. (for instance like for Android by using SDK, or for iOs by using xCode)
The Visual Studio Output Windows is handy if you are debugging your app but you cannot see/collect the logs in another moment.
I recommend the use of MetroLog, a lightweight logging system designed specifically for Windows Store and Windows Phone apps.
You can install it using NuGet
Install-Package MetroLog
Here's an quick example:
using MetroLog;
using MetroLog.Targets;
LogManagerFactory.DefaultConfiguration.AddTarget(LogLevel.Trace, LogLevel.Fatal, new FileStreamingTarget());
ILogger log = LogManagerFactory.DefaultLogManager.GetLogger<MainPage>();
log.Trace("This is a trace message.");
You can find a tutorial explaining how to add it on your project at http://talkitbr.com/2015/06/11/adicionando-logs-em-universal-apps. Also there is an explanation regarding retrieving these logs.
I am developing a Windows RT based application, I recently heard that Microsoft has launched Surface Pro 2 and Pro3 based devices seems it has Core i3, i5, i7 processor(not ARM Processor).
I am just curious that my app which is Windows RT based application will work on Surface Pro 2 or not? Or will have to prepare separate build from visual studio which target to 64bit based devices?
Windows RT is a version of Windows for ARM devices. Windows Runtime is the modern API for building Windows apps that can run on ARM, x86 and x64. If your app is .NET or HTML-based - you can create one build for all platforms. If you have any native code - when you create a store package you can choose which platforms should be targeted and a separate build will be run for each platform. In most cases if you use native code you can limit yourself to ARM and x86 builds since x64 processors can run x86 code. ARM and Intel based processors need separate versions of the code. If you only use managed or HTML code - that gets compiled into native code based on architecture-agnostic build that you submit to the store.
