How to weld flat stock to round stock?
When finished, if your weld is sound, the flat stock will no longer be flat, the tube stock will no longer be round. I'd use DOM tubing thick enough to be adequate after it is deformed, then after welding, drill it and tap it cold. I would lay a couple pieces of round stock between, and weld them into the joint.
Does the angle of the round stock matter for a puddle?
It won't much matter as long as the angle allows you enough access to get in and obtain good side wall fusion. If the round stock if fixed in a vertical position, only beveling the upper piece gives you a nice solid bottom to the joint to support the puddle.

Can you weld a joint into a recess?
To your question of getting a good weld on the part, the joint you have pictured is actually in all regards no different than a basic fillet weld.

We don't know from one question your ability, but if you can lay a proper weld bead, you can make this weld.

If your weld is tied in well to the angle as well as the threaded tubing, it doesn't matter that it's not where the two surfaces meet.

Re: any tips or tricks to drilling a piece of round stock to install cotter pins
Center punch the hole location and I like to use a center drill to start holes when drilling at an angle or on a round surface. Their thick body prevents them from bending and sliding around on the uneven surface like a regular drill bit does. HF sells a cheap fixture to line up holes on round stock. About $6 when I bought mine about 7-8 years ago.
