If you want a wireless solution a chrome cast might be your best option (£30). You can cast chrome to your tv. Your still going to need to use your laptop / pc to control whats on screen. But there are lots of wireless keyboards/track pads on the market that fill this gap.

A Raspberry Pi could be used to make a tv smart

But if you cant buy any new peripherals a hdmi cable is your only real option.

Just connect a laptop or desktop with a HDMI cable, put your TV on the right source (keep pressing the "source" or "src" button on your TV remote until you get signal), and the TV should mirror your PC screen. It's not gonna work without a PC.

Yes it has a youtube app and simply needs to be connected to the internet. Your pc doesnt need to be on.

Sorry, but I cannot help you with that, I don't know anything about Apple TV, but I suspect you do not need a PC for that.
