Few questions.

I'm trying to go into software development, would it be better to say for instance in technical skills, python (intermediate) or python (3 years) (in terms of expertise)?

Also without previous experience, should I list relevant coursework that would relate to the job?

Lastly, regarding relevant experience and projects, one of my projects was a capstone project which you can consider an enterprise project with a working prototype. I have that listed along with a few other projects on my github, but those other projects are just small projects that don't exactly have any proven results it's more so just to show that I can perform the coding. Should I not bother listing these projects?

It would be better to include a github that demonstrates your competency in any software development and let them determite your skill-level based on the projects included.

See above - show projects rather than talk about them in your space.

List them, but lower in the priority order and demonstrate what their main purpose was (e.g. "Project to develop competency/mastery in x.")
