What topics of PHP should I know to design a WordPress template?

Install WP locally and open the yearly template (it's called twenty twenty something) in an editor like vscode and read it.

As you read the source code you'll understand how templates work.

It's not so much about PHP, it's about knowing how WP templates work. Most templates are just adaptations on each other. The PHP is pretty much the same or very similar.

Yep. It's a matter of knowing HTML, CSS and JS. The php code is just there to fill the contents. Everything around it is just vanilla HTML 5.
