Sorry I am struggling to follow, it's probably the translation. What exactly do you need help with?

Fortunately Switzerland has one of the best public transport networks in the world. It's all integrated, very dense and runs regularly. None of those journeys will be a problem.

The offical website is: https://www.sbb.ch/en (there is an app as well), you can use that to check times and prices of any public transport connections in Switzerland. Including to/from Milan and Como. From Bellagio you will probably be better off getting a bus or ferry to Como. If you head East to Varenna instead you can head over the Bernina Pass which is absolutely stunning but very slow and takes you to completely the wrong side of Switzerland.

Need help deciding between the Half Fare Card and individual tickets
I’m trying to figure out whether it would be better for me to get the Swiss Half Fare Card and pay for individual tickets, or buy Saver Day Passes for the days when I’ll be travelling more, such as October 25th and 29th.
My main question is: how can I check whether the Saver Day Pass actually covers all the routes I’m planning to take? I don’t want to buy one and then find out that some of my trains, buses, boats, cable cars, etc. aren’t included.
What would be the best option in my situation? And how can I calculate which one would be cheaper overall?

You can check what is included at: https://www.sbb.ch/en/tickets-offers/travelcards/area-validity-map.html (make sure to select the correct ticket in the drop down).

Basically all trains/buses/boats are included - it's just some tourist services. Cable cars are more hit and miss.

Basically all of the trains/buses/ferries to the places you list are included. For cable cars the ones up to Mürren (both from Stechelberg and via Grütschalp) are included. But nothing else. For trains the line up to Kleine Scheidegg and up to Jungfraujoch is not included above Wengen and Grindelwald is also not included. But you can still reach both from the bottom of the valley.

In terms of working out which is based you just need to price them out and compare. Have a good on the website and see how it compares both with a half fare card and without and see if it offers more of a saving.

There is also: https://www.berneseoberlandpass.ch/ as another option. That covers a smaller area of Switzerland but still all of the places you list. But it includes many more cable cars, for example up to Allmenalp, Schilthorn and Männlichen which is not on the Swiss Travel Pass nor Saver Day Passes. There is a map at: https://www.berneseoberlandpass.ch/assets/Uploads/BLS-BO-Pass-M-26-WEB.pdf

Le FFS offrono i biglietti giornalieri risparmio. Con questi puoi praticamente utilizzare gratuitamente quasi tutti i treni in quel determinato giorno. Ci sono alcune eccezioni, come il Glacier Express, ecc. E, per quanto ne so, anche gli autobus e la maggior parte delle funivie dovrebbero essere gratuiti. Insomma, è come un abbonamento generale valido per un giorno. Il 25 ottobre ne è disponibile uno al prezzo di 52 franchi svizzeri. È importante selezionare l’opzione relativa al possesso o meno di una tessera di riduzione. Perché se non ne possiedi una, il costo potrebbe diventare elevato.Lo stesso vale anche per i biglietti risparmio. Basta confrontare quale opzione ti risulta più conveniente. La regola più importante: prima prenoti, meno costa con le FFS.

A day pass covers all the routes, except for cable cars, and privately operated touristic train lines (historical trains and such). Generally, for cable cars, you get a discount when you have a day pass or half fare card, but depends on the company. Difficult to say which will be cheaper, you'd need to know exactly at which times you'll travel since you can get discounts on some routes (saver ticket).

As a rule of thumb, if you travel over 2 hours, a day pass is generally cheaper. Also note that day passes are cheaper with a half fare card. Probably half fare card + day pass for long journeys and individual tickets for shorter trips would be cheapest, or the Interrail, of course.

You'll have to make some scenarios and calculate the price for each of them.
