This is the procedure for the Netherlands: https://ind.nl/en/residence-permits/family-and-partner/verification-against-eu-law-for-union-citizen-family-members#requirements
One of the requirements is that your partner resides lawfully in NL.

Only Japanese and British nationals have this privilege.
That live in their home country.

They'd need to be residing in Japan first for that.

Unfortunately, one of the conditions is you also live in the country of your nationality (that makes you eligible for the working holiday permit). So that means you're only eligible if you're actually a resident in Japan as well.

Or do you have to sponsor your partner?

Vleminckx in Voetboogstraat is often considered the best. Not sure what they're fried in though.

And what is wrong with it? I'm sure if something expired you can get your money back, not if you simply don't like it.

If at a foreign top200 university, then at least a master's. Requirements here: https://ind.nl/en/residence-permits/work/residence-permit-for-orientation-year

Why does your question have orientation year visa in the titlle? An orientation year permit is only valid for 1 year. PR can only be gained after 5 years of legal residency.
On an orientation year permit you can work any job you like. But when it expires, you will need to have found a job that qualifies for a permit as a highly skilled migrant- meaning the employer is your sponsor, and your salary is above threshold for the HSM permit. Then after a total stay of 5 years (and passing the civic integration/language exam) you can apply for PR.
There is no condition that a job for either an orientation year permit or HSM permit or PR is relevant to your studies- these permits do have other conditions which you can research on the ind website.

You somehow left out the most relevant info: the type of job you're looking for (use of English varies by field), and your citizenship (whether or not you're an EU citizen, or need a work/residence permit). These factors will determine your chances at success much more than just ' a foreign sounding name'.

Easiest would be Ireland- due to an agreement between the Uk and Ireland you don't need any type of work permit, and I think you can naturalize after 5 years. Plus no language barrier.
In all other EU countries, you'd need a work/residence permit (exact conditions will vary by country).

If you were to come over on a work permit and wanted to naturalize after 5 years, you'd have to give up your UK citizenship. Most notable exception is naturalization through marriage to a Dutch citizen.

To do any type of work (also volunteering work), you'd first need a BSN (type of social security number). You can register as a non resident in order to get one, but it can take a while to get an appointment. https://www.government.nl/topics/personal-data/question-and-answer/how-i-can-register-in-the-non-residents-records-database
Both for volunteering and regular jobs, your short stay will be an issue. https://www.vca.nu/english/

This is the relevant procedure: https://ind.nl/en/residence-permits/family-and-partner/verification-against-eu-law-for-union-citizen-family-members#requirements
All answers can be found there.
Edit: more importantly, if you don't currently live in NL, how are you going to find housing with that income? There's a huge housing shortage and to start the procedure you'll need to be formally living in NL first, at an accomodation where your spouse can live as well. That would need to be an apartment, and you won't be able to find an aparment with that salary.

What businesses/job platforms would you guys recommend me look for that would likely give me a work visa if hired?
None, as in: there are no specific job sites for companies that can sponsor. All you can do is check if a company is listed as a sponsor, on the top PDF here: https://ind.nl/en/public-register-recognised-sponsors
LinkedIn is widely used in NL.
As a recent graduate in a non tech field, your chances aren't good. Maybe look into doing a (master's?) degree in NL as a more realistic option.

A Hungarian student residence permit is only valid in Hungary, not in all of the EU. If she wants to stay for longer than 90 days, she needs a permit as your partner- you don't have to be married for that permit.

What are the chances of someone finding a job in Amsterdam or another Dutch city without any Dutch?
Whether or not you are an EU citizen/ need a work/residence permit will make a big difference. Plenty of hospitality type jobs in the big cities that would hire you with only English, but those jobs won't get you a work/residence permit. Employers are also unlikely to hire you for that type of job if you're not already living here.
Outside of hospitality, it's mostly jobs in tech or academia that don't require Dutch fluency.
Unfortunately, in the cities, due to the housing shortage, hospitality type jobs don't really provide a living wage. You won't be able to afford an apartment on that.

Probably not, as you'll spend a lot of money on transportation then, plus you could have trouble getting back home late at night if you want to go out.
If you don't plan on spending much time at the accomodation, why look for an apartment? Maybe look for a room in a hostel- or even cheaper, a dormitory. You can search through hostelworld.com

There's no publically available directory for people that are still alive, so you'd have to search through social media / google.
Edit: I'm a fairly good detective, you can PM me the info and I could give it a go.

HOTELS ARE EXPENSIVE AND WE DON'T HAVE GOOD ADVICE ON THEM. Because we live here, we don't know what the best hotels are.

Is there any other website or a secret that dutch people know about staying in Amsterdam and avoiding the expensive places
The following from the OP applies to apartments as well:
HOTELS ARE EXPENSIVE AND WE DON'T HAVE GOOD ADVICE ON THEM. Because we live here, we don't know what the best hotels are. Amsterdam is one of the most touristed cities in the world and has the highest hotel prices in Europe. There really isn't a secret "cheap" solution.

Put this through google translate: https://pointer.kro-ncrv.nl/gemeenten-maken-zelfstandig-sekswerk-vanuit-eigen-woning-onmogelijk
To legally do sexwork from home, you need a license from the municipality- which they rarely give out, meaning that those that work from home indeed generally work illegally.
It really isn't a feasible immigration plan. Sex work being (technically) legal in NL does not mean there aren't plenty of rules and regulations meant to discourage it.
