Install and set up with initially with a local account, no internet

TPM.

Installing or upgrading a new PC to Windows 11 requires the user to
register and sign in with a Microsoft Account (MSA) and an internet
connection. There is no initial option to set up a local, or non-MSA
account.

3a. If you know, what would be required to get around the TPM? Is there
another way you could accomplish your goal without doing this?

You can set up the account with a MSA then go and add a local user
account, give it admin rights, sign in as the local account and delete the
MSA account.
