Question: Link is on Death Row for one murder, why aren't T-bag and John Abruzzi also on death row? Fair enough Link was set up by higher powers to ensure his execution but wouldn't dangerous people like T-bag and Abruzzi, convicted murderers, also be on death row? T-bag especially, since he raped and murdered children.

Answer: T-Bag and Abruzzi killed ordinary citizens, and they were sentenced to life imprisonment, but Burrows killed the vice president's brother and was sentenced to death because of so much power they had.
Who is killed has nothing to do with death penalty cases. There are a number of factors that has to be taken into consideration. As Lummie said, it could be a case they took plea deals, there might not have been enough evidence for murder in the 1st degree or other factors depending on the state laws with which I'm not familiar.

Question: What's the time frame of the show?
Answer: Roughly as follows. Linc "kills" Steadman in 2001. Michael robs the bank on March 9th 2005 and is sent to Fox River on April 11th. The breakout from Fox River takes place on or around May 25-31. Michael arrives in Sona on June 17th 2005. More details are here: https://prisonbreak.fandom.com/wiki/Prison_Break_timeline.
That wouldn't make sense because the original grave stone in series 4 has Michael's death date as 2005, which is supposed to be at least 3 years after Fox River.

Question: I've probably missed something, but at one point Michael rescues Sarah from the very room that they are trying to access for the escape - why didn't they use that route to get there?
Answer: She wasn't in the infirmary, she was in Sick Bay, a different location in B Wing.
Answer: She wasn't in the infirmary, she was actually in the sick bay.
Answer: Because the path from underneath the Doc's room had a new pipe replaced. The pipe was too big and firm to tear off so they had to change their plans last minute.

Answer: T-Bag and Abruzzi's cases are not fully discussed in the show so its impossible to state why they weren't on death row as well. The most likely answers is there was not enough evidence on both to convict on Murder One charges or they took plea bargains that would likely have taken the death penalty off the table. If I remember correctly I think there is a work up on the charges of the characters in the show on the official Prison Break website. I don't know if it explains your question but I believe it has the list of convictions against them.
